Pride Goeth Before….Typos
Today something unprecedented happened.
Over the course of the day, three different people mentioned they’d looked up my blog. For the record, they were a new hire, a potential vendor and a candidate for a position involving technology. And they all said complimentary things, which I must say felt really nice and very affirming, despite any [arguably] mixed motives influencing their praise.
Did I mention this was unprecedented?
Outside of HRevolution–which is heavily attended by HR bloggers–it’s never happened before.
So I don’t mind saying I was feelin’ pretty fly. And justifiably so, wouldn’t you say?
Like I’m a serious Blogger with a capital B.
That was, until I checked out my blog, thinking, who knows, maybe one of these people left me a comment I should answer right away. And when I looked around my site, I was immediately hit over the head with four different spelling and punctuation errors in a single recent post.
D’oh!
Ouch!
As they say, pride goeth before a fall.
I quickly figured out it was a post I written on my little netbook, which is a slow, tedious, frustrating process at best. But still, I was mortified.
After all, there are no excuses.
And so my ego has shrunck back to it’s usual paremeters and from now on, I’ll be much mor care full to doublchek my speling.and punctation
Just like I espect of my aplicants!

I hate that when that happens…typos, using my netbook to write…and not noticing until later. Doh!
But overall I think you should be proud of your blog. I’ve been meaning to mention that since HREvolution, your blog is flying in my radar and I look forward to your posts.
