I've been tasked (yet again) to contribute to my company's blog on our website. KILL ME. I absolutely despise this. In fact, I cringe whenever we have our weekly Genius League meetings and the word "blog" is inevitably uttered by my boss because I know I'm about to be assigned yet another tragic subject matter. (Not to mention that my last three submissions were rejected on account of changes to the scope after the fact, so I'm that much more P.O.'d by this time-sucker of an extracurricular activity.)
Sometimes I still chuckle at the irony in whatever-on-earth motivated me to start up my own personal blog. Blogging for someone else is not the same as blogging for yourself, where the sky is the limit and blog topics are not under constant surveillance. I'm free as a bird to blog about what interests me and to present my P.O.V. to the world.
This is not the case when it comes to blogging for my work. I've been assigned the category of – wait for it – PRINTING! (It's quite dry, if you ask me, and I'm the Production Manager.) Not only do I have to find interesting ways to blog about the differences in printing methods and technique, I have to do it within the tone of our corporate voice. You know what that means. CONSERVATIVE. Is this a double-hitter for boredom, or what?
Have I been set up to fail by my very own boss?
