It works!!
And much better than Tumblr I must say. I really like how I get confirmation that my blog has been posted. At Tumblr you send, then constantly check to make sure that your post is there.
Dear blogger, I have returned :)

Walking
I was reading th news online, as I usually do, when I came across an article on cnn.com about the benefits of walking. The article gave 8 benefits of walking. One reason that stuck in my mind. According to the article, people who walk lose about 25 lbs a year and keep it off. If I lose 25 lbs I would be over the moon.
So I need to start walking again. I was considering getting up at 5:30am and walking b4 work. Then walking again when I get home. That would be a good 10 hours a week. Who knows it might even help me stay awake in the morning.
Tomorrow I will try. Update to follow.

Mobile Blogging
One of the many blogs that I own is at Tumblr. What I love about that site is the way that that I can send posts via my phone. Apparently Blogger has something similar and so I am now testing it out.
I hope this works.

What Have I Been Up To Lately?
Reading....
And lots of it.
Lately, I've been reading alot again. This usually happens when there are things that are going on in my life that I would rather not have going on in my life and so I turn to books as a form of escapism. At the peak I can burn through multiple books a day. Just churning along ignoring whatever the current issue that's bothering me. And so I have decided to bring back See [Phoebe] Jane Read.
I have received complaints bout how the link to my reading review site was down, but I had disabled the blog until I figured out exactly what direction I wanted to go with it. Now I think I'll stick to its simplest form. Reviewing the books I've read and giving my thumbs up and thumbs down. Enjoy.
~MUAH~

See [Phoebe] Jane Read !
Some catch-up is in order, but that will have to wait. Since the last time I posted here I have been pretty sick and pretty busy. The recap post will have to come later if at all because I really am not in the mood to reminisce about what has happened in the past couple of months. Besides its would not make for the most interesting read anyways.
Right now work is pretty slow. The Outlook server has been down and so no emails are able to be sent out or received. Some people have plenty of downtime and they spend it online or staring into space. Others (esp. the bosses) are spending the time wandering around the cubicles just spying on the employees. Thrilling.
Today I set up a new blog. It's called See [Phoebe] Jane Read (You can click on the name to get to the blog) The blog will just be my thumbs up and/or thumbs down on the things I read. I read whatever seems interesting or whatever I feel like reading. I will not be following Oprah's Book Club Book of the Month or even the best sellers list. It all just depends on recommendations from friends and whatever I find on a book shopping spree. So if you have any suggestions or want to see what I'm reading, head on over there:

Change In Pace
Work was rather slow today. So instead of falling asleep I decided to do some career research. Lately I have been bouncing around the idea of maybe going back to the business thing. So I began to investigate what steps would be necessary to walk in that direction.
At first some things looked promising. The business experience, the requirement for a strong and stable work history, and so on. However, then things began to look a little discoraging as begining jobs required employees to not have a second job and very little starting pay.
This whole get a career thing is stressful. I mean its what thing to have a job, but its quite another thing to have a career. They didn't tell us about all this when we were in grade school. All they told us was to stay in school and to say no to drugs and always do the right thing. But when looking at some of the most successful people, we see that school is not always necessary and (Bill Gates:College Dropout) drugs do not neccessarily mean instant failure (Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World & Lewis Carroll wrote Into The Looking Glass- Both drug users. ) and that doing the right thing is a matter of opinon (Enron ) and may not neccesarrily mean the end of your success (Martha Stewart)
I'm not saying those were the wrong lessons to be taught. I'm just saying that it would have been more helpful if there was more real world advice and tips and a roadmap. Want to be a doctor? Do step 1-10. But instead we're fed this blanket map of basic stay in school blah blah
More later. I have to go. Defintely look for entry part 2!!
