Bad News, Bloggers

Before we get to the bad news, let’s see home many of you are guilty of the same crime. Ready?

I get the vast majority of my blog reading and commenting done AT WORK.

There, I said it. If I’ve ever commented on your blog in the past several years, there’s a solid 90% chance that was done in my office on a work computer. That’s because I can multi-task. I can talk on the phone, service an account, and read about baseball cards all at the same time. I’ve become very good at squeezing a little Blogger into the down time between appointments, and it’s never been an issue before.

Until now.

Blogger is now blocked on my work computer. I doubt it’s just because of me. I work for a large, international company that has already blocked pretty much every semblance of social media and personal e-mail there is. If it’s blocked on mine, it’s blocked on everybody’s. It was just a matter of time. I get it, too. I was responsible with it but could see how some may not have been.

I can still read some of your posts provided they are shown on my own blog’s sidebar (the Blogger site is blocked but I can still visit specific blogs). I can also see other blogs through your own site’s sidebars. No pictures, though - just post titles.

BUT

Whatever engine exists in a computer that allows one to comment on a blog post is no longer there. This means that I can read, but I cannot comment. It’s frustrating. Going forward, any commenting you see from me will have been done at home or on my phone (which I don’t normally do as I’m usually busy with e-mails, Sim City Buildit, or Rovercraft).

Have you played Rovercraft? Oh my God...

In summation: I’m not going anywhere, and I’ll still be reading as much as possible, but comments from me are going to be fewer and further between. Sorry, y’all.
