At this point, I thought it would be fun to give you the history of why I started this blog. Actually, the inspiration came from many sources. Over the years, my co-workers and I have always commented "we should write a book" when something totally off the wall happened at work. We always figured that no one would believe the weird things that happened in retail, and some of the randomness is fairly amusing.
Then I had the pleasure of seeing the movie "Julie and Julia" recently, and it got me thinking.
They say you should write about what you know, and although I enjoy cooking, there is no way I could blog my way thru a cookbook. In fact, I would have to "modernize" the fabulous recipes of Julia Child and re-title the experience "Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Using Only a Microwave and Crock Pot". I do not think it would do her masterpieces justice. I would be afraid that her "boof bur-gon-yon" would turn into "boof bur-gone-wrong". ![]()
So I spent some time brain-storming with a clever friend of mine (who, by the way, is a computer genius), and he helped me set this whole thing up. If you are need of a technical-guru, let me know... he's the best!
Write about what you know. That's the key. I've been in retail longer than I care to admit, but it has provided me with some great experiences. And I wanted to share...
And so a blog was born.
