There's No Business Like My Business

I had to disconnect from the machine for awhile.

(Play: Gary Numan, "Me, I Disconnect From You"...and read on)

For the past three months, I have either been blogging, reading and responding to other blogs. I was a Web 2.0 junkie.

But as my job went into hyperdrive....it's open enrollment time as well as annual review time...policies, benefits, and procedures are changing....and my personal life went off the tracks....and my body broke down to the flu...something had to give....and it was my blog.

As much as I enjoy doing this, it has become part work for me. H.R. work that is. I admire those that keep their blogs up everyday and amazed by folks who twitter and/or text all day long. But as a Gen X'er, I am not getting this constant need to communicate. Whatever happened to the wonderful world of silence?

And why does every store & restaraunt play popular music at very audible levels? It just seems more and more that there is not really a constant need to communicate, but a constant need to have noise.

I will try to keep up in this mywikiblogspace world. But there will be some days that I'm just not going to care, and not fear I'm not connected so I can have some peace & quiet.

Everyone takes a sick day from work. But do you take a sick day from life?
