Today I realized that blogging can be beneficial while interacting with human beings in the real world.
In between staring at my screen and replying to emails, I interacted with my HR colleagues, had a coffee in the break room (I couldn't avoid talking to a few "customers") and had lunch with a friend.
Looking back, I mentioned the following blog posts more or less directly:

Looking back, I mentioned the following blog posts more or less directly:
- providing great service to your internal customers while avoiding burn-out: Liz' post at Collaboration Zone and my comment
- tips for handling an overflowing inbox: Guerrilla Technique #1
- will an office move improve employee satisfaction? GTK: Hawthorne Effect

I was talking about HR blogs with my former-former boss last night. I mentioned I have a blog. She said "OH no, please no...don't tell me any more!" I think she fears for my reputation...
I agree, that's why I started blogging as well.
