I've started dreaming about work. To the point where I feel like I'm not getting enough rest because I'm not waking up refreshed, even when I don't have to set an alarm. I'm not sure if that's a good thing that work has become so important to me that even my subconscious deals with it, or if it's a bad thing because it means there's a possibility that it's consuming my life.

I'm again having those thoughts about ending Blogger Insider. For a number of reasons. I've been keeping the project going for selfish reasons -- namely, the fact that it keeps my hit count up and I like seeing people come to my site, but if they're only coming to the Blogger Insider page and not actually reading my blog, then why bother? My hit rate's already declining and I haven't even cancelled the project. Also, there's been a lot of complaints about negligent partners and you know how I feel about putting in all this work every round that seems to be useless, especially when people e-mail me and whine and complain about it -- hey, I have no control over what someone else does so what makes you think that complaining to me is going to make a difference? In addition, I've been getting a lot of people who want to join, but when I go to their blogs, their blogs consist mostly of either quizzes, one-line entries or content that doesn't seem conducive to exchanging thoughtful questions (translation: either they sound like they were written by an 11-year-old or they actually were written by an 11-year-old). Quite frankly, the project was not meant as a way for people to generate filler for their blogs, and I don't want people to use it as such especially when they can discard it so quickly & easily when they're done with it without even telling me. So rather than impose my own subjective restrictions on membership (which would probably be unfair), I'm thinking of just ending it altogether.
