Hey, a blog!

Well, to update everyone, I have a job. Yes, everyone's favorite biweekly blogger about being unemployed is no longer unemployed. The irony that really twitters my knickers, (yes, I did just make that up) is that my job is to help people find jobs. I work at a staffing firm that specializes in staffing human resource jobs. So for 3 months of frustration and not finding a job, I am being trained in how to be an expert in exactly that, finding jobs.

So that is the excitement in my life. But now comes down to the real purpose of this blog. Being the egotistical writer that I am, I assume that everyone reading my blog wants to make sure that I am still going to continue writing. So I lay the problem at the feet of my readers. What should I write about now? The brief brainstorming that I have done with myself and others, has lead me to the following ideas. A few notes though, I don't like to blog for the sake of updating people on my life. If you want to know that, ask me. I feel a blog should have a topic, or several. I can do both honest posts, or satirical. The choice is yours faithful viewers!

Here are the ideas I or friends have come up with,

- Blogging about the highs and lows of Corporate life
- The job search from the hiring side, instead of the candidate side
- Or haikus about being in a staffing firm, examples by Tom to follow

I'm not sure what to do. I could always just post my random thoughts on life, but I'm 98% sure no one would care, or read. So there is the dilemma. I would like it to be related to the original title, but if not thats fine. So, any input is appreciated.

Haikus:
This stapler of mine
It joins paper together
So I don't lose them

Your bad penmanship
Makes it hard to read your name
No paycheck for you

Your resume is
absolutely terrible
no success for you

My job is to be
a headhunter but I don't
shink heads, tragic'ly
