Reason for no blog lately

I had promised myself that I would try and keep my blog current. When I made that promise to myself, I was not inundated with work. As you can tell, it has been a while since I updated my blog, a clear indicator that I obviously got busy. That is no excuse however. But as been said before, “shit happens.”

My last blog, as you can see, was about music, and I said at the end of that blog that there would be a future music one. Well, as you can see, I never got around to writing it. However, I did find the time to write this! Yeah, go figure.

I do not have to explain why I never got around to writing that blog I had promised, but somehow, I feel the need too. Not that you all need an explanation. It just seems the right thing to do. I actually feel like I owe it to my readership.

For anyone that has a full-time job, they fully understand what I am going to say. A job takes a lot of time and effort. Many of us blue collar citizens put too much of our time and effort into the jobs that we hold. This has been the case with me lately. Being the bookstore manager of a regional campus of the University of South Carolina, the beginning semester can be quite exhausting. Making sure all of the textbooks are in order for all of the professors can be a job in itself. I have to make sure everything is in order and that not only are the professors happy, I have to make sure that the students are happy and can get their textbooks. Of course, there are times when textbook orders do not go as planned and we are sometimes without textbooks for classes, at least the first week anyway. The first two weeks are always the most treacherous. After that, it gets better.

So, now you know where I have been lately. I promise, I will write the second part to my music blog. I already know what I want to write about in it. It will be worth the read! Will let you know when I am done and have it posted!
