question: what's in the job?

Not long ago, an anonymous question popped up into my inbox. The question was, “Is blogging like a job, and what your routine is?” I was confused, who would want to know this? But then I figured, after a couple of days, that they wanted an answer. So, lets just give anonymous there answer in a post.
The first thing I ever do when I log onto a computer is check my emails. Emails are an important part to anything on the internet, and most websites and things you go on require one. I scroll through the old and the new, taking peeks and answering drafts just quickly, not replying to any. I never reply to emails in the morning, it is always the last thing I do.

After that, I scroll through my to-do list. No matter how much snippets I take and try to shorten things, it always gets fuller and fuller by the minute. I can’t keep it under control! It always has the upcoming blogger events, daily rituals and important notices.

Then (the bit you’re all anticipating) I log into my account of blogger. I check the ‘New Posts’ list, and visit all the blogs I’m following. Then I’ll open up each of my blogs in a new window, and check on everything. This part is the most job-worthy part of blogging, checking up to see if everything is perfect on your blogs, and changing anything that needs to be updating. This morning I spent half an hour on multiple websites, looking for the perfect background for my new blog, The Fashion Guru. I like all my blogs to be great and precise, and get the most views possible.

After checking on everything on each of my blogs, I’ll start posting. I usually brainstorm ideas in word first, then go out and take the pictures (if needed) THEN write and publish. The truth is, a little part of me always says NO to some posts, but the bigger part publishes.
Finally, at the end of the day, I respond to any messages, comments and blog posts. Despite everything else, this is one of the things that HAVE to be done. But, no matter how well everything goes, there is always a problem, which tomorrow will fix.

Well I guess you know now what my day on the computer is like, and how blogger entails a job. Remember, I’m not ALWAYS on the computer, only for maximum 2 hours a day. I have other things in life to work on.
