As I’ve stated before, I really shouldn’t deal with customer service when I’m not in a good mood. Most people when the call or in this case text for support are already in a bad mood. Doing the following doesn’t help any.

It does matter
Once again, the concept of writing is appealing, but it really does take a certain level of dedication and time. The best way to approach it is to treat it as a job and set time aside to do the thing.
Previously, I wrote a four bullet points :
- Why bother? If you’ve thought of it, someone else has already written about it, and probably in more eloquent manner in a more popular format and with better information.
- Will anyone actually read this? I’m just a single voice in a crowd of thousands, nay MILLIONS!!! It is the internet after all.
- Does it matter? In the grand scheme of things, does adding one more bit of trivia or nugget of information out there really benefit humanity. As this guy (https://youtu.be/L4pE-pdhnJw) puts it, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY! And, quite frankly, PHOTOGRAPHY can be replaced with anything.
- Will it offend anyone? Now, this is a big one for me. I have lots of opinions about things, especially work related. However, I am concerned about the impression of “airing dirty laundry” especially when you realize that despite item number 2, people will search for you and find all those things you posted, especially those negative things when it comes down to decision making for a promotion, new employment and just curious about the new person they met.
I’ve discovered (more than once) writing a blog or journal (if you prefer the offline version) is much like the concept of owning a kitten or puppy. EVERYONE wants one! They are so cute, you’ve all seen the pictures. Puppies and kittens frolicking around looking all cute and you think “hey, I should get one”. And it’s all fun and games until you realize the amount of work that is involved.
What you don’t see is the house training, litter training, and cleaning up of messes. Everyone wants the cute, the nice, the playing… no one wants the work.
And that’s where I fall in with journaling.
