Does anyone read these blogs?

Interesting question... hmmm, does anyone actually read these blogs of mine? Are they just my own private sounding board as I originally envisaged they would be or does someone other than me benefit from the ramblings of a bored, middle-aged person?

Now, we can argue the word "benefit" - some would say it can have many meanings and what a reader may experience from the ramblings will be dependent upon their own needs at the time. At the worst they've used a few seconds of your important life, at best they may have inspired you to better things. For me, it enables the letting off of steam.

I've been in the process of sorting out classes for May to August 2010; paperwork, etc. In my other previous roles I have always fought the pointlessness of paperwork for the sake of it, but now find myself often contemplating its' invention for tasks that really doesn't need it.

I've also been reeling over the disappointment of not winning this years Wiltshire Healthy Awards - i was not even shortlisted despite getting 30 nominations out of the total 150.... Pretty much a rigged out come especially when during filming to be screened at the event, you're told categorically that you stand no chance because the person telling you this is "influential with/is on the deciding panel", and again as you enter on the presentation day to which you've been invited to give away the award for the category you're nominated.

There is next year of course.
