Unlike a lot of people I don't have access to the internet at work other than via my iPhone.
The internet network at work is blocked so I cannot connect to it using the wifi so any blogging I do is via 3G. Anyone who has used 3G a lot, like we have before we got proper broadband, will know that it's reliability is not great. Sometimes it will whizz through pages, other times it will be slower than a very slow thing!
I work from 8am to 9pm. I get to work at 8am I have to be up at around 6.30am. I get home around 9.30pm but often it is later. I'll have something to eat, check my email and then, rather than sit with the laptop open, I'll spend sometime with my other half. Pretty soon it's time for bed and the routine starts again at 6.30am.
My shifts mean I work two days on, two days off, three days on, two days off and so on.
As my days off are important to me I try to make sure that I cram as much in as possible. This could mean I watch a film or two, or do some baking, or something crafty. I might go and see friends or take the dogs out.
Sometimes I'll sit and go through any blogs I've missed over the last few days. I'll read them in my feed reader, rather than going through blog, as I have other feeds I read which are not part of BCUK.
I'll comment if I see something I think I can add value to, or be insulting in a funny way (which often fails). If I can't add anything then I won't comment.
As I have said a million times before, just because I don't comment doesn't mean I'm not reading.
Email me again, questioning why I don't comment on your blog and I'm going to make it quite public. I may also resort to pointing out some truths.
If you have no idea who I'm talking about then you should know it's not aimed at you. Don't ask me in a pm, email or comment who it is, as you won't get an answer.
Thank you.
