I’m kind of bored of writing about work, as you probably have sensed by now. The magic of the freak show of the days of The Company is impossible to re-create, and Rickety Properties, albeit also populated by truly freaky individuals, doesn’t seem to give me the same level of inspiration. I feel like writing about other stuff that I find amusing or irritating in life. The annoying women with hairy bushes I see in the changing rooms of the yoga studio; my dabbling in Mind Body & Spirit stuff and my encounter with workshop junkies and self-proclaimed spiritual masters. The inevitability of my next-door neighbours having the most frightening rows whenever I attempt to give my friend I. a Reiki treatment.
I don’t need to make a decision until March 2011, when my Typepad subscription will be up for renewal; and being a paid-for service, I won’t be paying for a blank screen. But maybe the inspiration will come back, who knows?
Whatever you write about, I'll read. (There's always WordPress. Or Blogspot.)

Thank you :-)
You're right, I could migrate Office Troll to a WordPress blog anyway. I have an account and I reserved the name just in case, years ago. I guess it doesn't have to be killed off in that respect; but it needs to be separate from anything else I do because it has to stay anonymous, for obvious reasons, and that's beginning to be a burden in the age of sharing across different social networks, microblogging sites etc.

I hope you do continue to write..about anything! I think the free blog sites are great too.

Having read your blog, I was amused by iTunes new Ping thing. Only because the association was not smart new Apple move, but crazy estate agent with a buzz word.
Hope you can find some inspiration somewhere, because its things like that, and of course the body of work, that make me smile.
Best Wishes

Thanks! :-)
Apparently Harry's by no means alone in his use of the word 'PING'. A friend of mine had a job interview with another estate agent, and her interviewer also said that they 'PING' property details to applicants via email. And then Apple! I must admit, when I heard about iTunes/Ping, I, too, smiled....
