comments, compliments and complaints

As promised in blog entry two I looked at more blogs last night and was brave anough to comment on two who had similar concerns to me (like what to blog about, what are people thinking when they read my blog etc).

 It's a little disconcerting to know that whatever I say is then out there in the ether for anyone to read, imagine if i'm having a bad day or don't agree with how things are done at work and I decide in the moment to blog about it - what if some-one from my work then reads the blog? I know I need to be a reposnsible blogger and really shouldn't write about anything I don't want anyone to read but sometimes my fingers run away with me.

In a way it could work out well - I mean if I am unsure about something and blog about it then at least I have the support and advice of other bloggers. I do think that you have to be balanced too its all good and well to come on and rave about new technology or great courses but if this is supposed to be reflective development you need to blog about the not so great stuff too so that when you do reflect you can consider what you need to improve either about yourself or in your workplace.

so with that in mind I intent to blog as I would speak (does that make sense) in that if it is something I would say to a colleague or family member it can go on here, however if it is something I would think twice about saying then i will keep that to myself.

2 days in a row!

I'm back again -mainly because I realised yesterday I was a day late doing thing 1 and so thing 2 was posted by the time I got in from work, but also if i remember to post daily then it will come in handy when I'm looking back to have record of the high's and low's of my traineeship.

I spent a good hour yesterday reading through people's blogs and I was amazed at the mixture of people blogging - from beginer to hardened pro's. I've yet to leave any comments - simply because I'm usure as what to say. I was however pleased to log on this evening to discover that some-one had read my blog and taken the time to comment it is lovely to already be recieveing support and so I endeavour over the next couple of days to read more blogs and have the confidence to post a comment.

I am at the RSC e-fair at the East Midlands Conference Centre at Nottingham University tomorrow. So if I have time I shall post about that tommorow. I'm looking forward to having a chance to network and go to a few workshops and pick up some useful info.

Thanks for reading.
