Don't Blog from the office

In one part audition for a spot on ESPN.com Page Two, part attempt to be humorous, but mostly genuine emotion about my hoops team, my earlier Laker post has taught me one thing, Don't blog at work. I am a very streaky writer, always have been, always will be. I have to be in the Zone. One time, post high school, I was in the Zone for six month, where I had begun my great Novel. I was in the zone, the day of the Lakers rant, the words flowed from my finger tips, as if I had tapped a great river. However, much like the beaver, the horde of Government Workers conspired to dam my river. As I banged away on my overpriced MS Keyboard, one came in "oh how do I print" another "Oh i cant find my email" Even one called to ask how to read directions. I shit you not. Now my river of creative writing had dried up, I felt like a boxer, on the ropes, head pounded in, delirious, flailing my arms about hoping to connect a blow. I pounded away on the keyboard, struggling to maintain coherent thought, let alone regain the flow. But i persevered, limping across the finish line. So moral of the story is, don't blog in the office where you know someone will interrupt you. On second thought, just throw on the headphones, and ignore the world, and blog away.....
