Making a promise is fine, but more and more these days the promises that we make are reliant on other people, systems and technology to keep the promise that we made. On Wednesday night, my blog didn’t publish and go out via email. It’s not massively significant to anybody in the world (apart from me) but it’s upsetting to me because some time ago I made a promise to publish my blog every day.
What I should have said is, "I’ll promise I’ll write a blog every day and have content ready because I can’t control the externals in relation to publication of a blog electronically on the internet".
Some people (whose blog goes out to tens and thousands of people) get everybody running around like their hair is on fire if there is any chance that the blog won’t publish, but unfortunately (or fortunately) that is not the case for me.
Over the years, we’ve had issues with different providers where it just didn’t post or publish regardless of what we did, and on Wednesday the same thing happened again. The slightly annoying part about Wednesday is I realised that I didn’t have content for Wednesday nights blog at around about 12:30pm and so rushed away from the Business Course to find a corner to produce it (based on a conversation that was held at lunchtime on that day).
Hey ho, I’m sure no one was bothered really, but I promise I will continue to provide the content every day and also try our very best to publish them every day because I said I would. Whoever reads this, expects that.
