It's All About Me
by Scott Hardie on December 27, 2006
I regret if my rantings around this site have come across either whiny, as I coped with illnesses and a busy schedule, or hypocritical, as I griped about Christmas cheer while still participating in the holiday. I don't regret if they came across as self-centered.

(Though, I did reply in another post with a question on why some of these things aren't started as discussions in TC... particularly, the news items. It makes perfect sense to me for a blog to be about yourself and your personal life -- perhaps eradicating the TC category of "Life"? -- but other events seem to ask to be on the forum. Oh, well... what the hell do I know about it.)

Good point, Amy. I struggled over whether to include the Hussein hanging item just now in TC, since people will probably want to discuss the subject there. But the thing I want to say about it is the only thing I want to say about it, and it's such a personal statement that it doesn't seem to be part of a group statement.

I'm not around much this week because it's time for the annual performance reviews at work. I'm staying up till the wee hours each night writing the reviews so that the two-day marathon of face-to-face chats at the end of the week will go well.

Nobody's falling off of staircases or dropping bathtubs through the floor, but this month, our house has had a lot of things go wrong at once.
