My First Foray into the Fray

This is a first for me, setting up a blog. I'm only doing it to appease and please a fellow blogger, Suzanne, of GenerationXpert fame. Well, and to also give my gracious host of previous rants, Spanitz Consulting, a bit of a break, too. If you browse the Spanitz site, you'll find a link for "fun stuff," and from that page, I direct your attention to "check out guest authors here." Once you click that link, you'll find my rants, which have been posted since about 1999. You'll also find other authors, though they don't get on one quite as often as I do.

I'll still be posting to Spanitz Consulting, and chances are good that some of the things found there will also be posted, in part, here. The posts here will likely be shorter, though.

You wouldn't think doing a blog would be the kind of thing to make me nervous. I'm capable of speaking in front of crowds without breaking into a sweat, but I am one of those people who is very good at social gaffes of all varieties. In other words, I tend to say the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time.

There are actually people who coined the part of the WWJD phrase before it became popular, only they would say, "What would Kathy do?" as their guideline in tough situations.

Boy, were they ever fooled.

Little did they know that Kathy really sweated it out trying to be sure she was tactful and kind and not that Holstein cow in the china shop when it came to doing the right thing and handling difficult situations.

Anyway, after a little encouragement from Suzanne and Spanitz Consulting, I decided it was time to torment the blogging world with my rude remarks, because it's so much easier to think while you type rather than pause, reread, and say to yourself, "I can't possibly put that in writing."

Hell yes, you can. And chances are, I will.
