'Blogs without topics are a waste of time' — Penelope Trunk

The doyenne of the Brazen Careerist made that the topic of a post in her blog this past Tuesday.

That got me thinking.

I mean, what's my topic?

Lots of stuff — but that's the same as no topic at all.

No focus.

The opening sentence of her post: "Stop thinking that you are such an incredibly wide-ranging thinker with so many interests and insights that you cannot be pinned down to just one topic."

Erm.

Maybe I'm wasting my time — and yours.

Sure is fun, though.

I think I'll keep on keeping on wasting time just the way I am — at least, till time doth waste me.

In one respect, at least, she and I agree completely.

I was all set to jump on the new "trash Trunk" bandwagon after reading Kathleen Parker's column in this past Wednesday's Washington Post about how Trunk tweeted news of her miscarriage last month as it was happening during a business meeting.

Just for the heck of it, though, before I did so I wandered over to Trunk's blog to see what she had to say about the uproar and learned that she has Asperger syndrome and thus is prone to all manner of shoot first, aim later behavior, which has done her in on numerous occasions over the years.

So.
