Here is a conundrum. As part of my job, I now write and publish a couple of articles a week on the Web. They, are usually, admittedly, on very boring topics. Still, I put a lot of time into them (because I have to), and they do provide an easy way to show family and friends what I'm up to during daylight hours. Yet it has been near-impossible to get anyone to read what I write (with a couple of kind exceptions). Yes, okay, I admit these pieces are boring and would not be part of anyone's daily reading repertoire under ordinary circumstances. But how painful would it be, really, to do me the courtesy of at least an occasional perfunctory read?
Am I right to be annoyed by this? Or have I merely been in Hollywood too long and suffered through too many "listen to me talk about my awesome entertainment job and my super-awesome entertainment ambitions for 20 minutes " monologues? I miss the days when we all toiled in demeaning entry-level positions and preferred to talk about anything except work.
Yes, it is Friday, and yes, I am burnt out from the work week.
