The NEW Alex has Office Hours 1000!


So I’ve given up on Spiritual Eating Disorders (SED) for a bit. I know some of you are terribly devastated and are planning to sit at home eating a gallon of ice cream because of it, and if I had finished my SED on obesity I’m sure that could have been prevented. Fat jokes and insensitivities aside: with nearly 40 posts and over 1000 views I found myself waking up to this blog and realizing that my greatest adversary would likely be my boredom.

But out of boredom can come great things. List week, a product of my inability to actually sit down and write out all of my thoughts cohesively, resulted in an uptick in readership and me finally coming to terms with some of the frustrations I was experiencing in the new year. Now that list week is over I felt weird going back to the same old blog set-up.

So now, I present to you…

The NEW Alex has Office Hours 1000!

Sleek, simplified, and streamlined (and complete with alliteration!), the New Alex has Office Hours 1000 still has all the things people loved about our humble beginnings but in a new and more readable form.

Obviously that doesn’t mean that I’ve changed the layout of the actual page, my deepest apologies friends, but it does mean I’ve changed my approach to the actual writing of the blogs. So here’s the new set-up!

Long Rant Mondays- this is basically what you’ve come to expect from all of my posts. You’ll get a long post that reads like an essay and goes over some of the things I’m struggling with. Politics, religion, and anything you don’t bring up around strangers will likely be the topic of these days.

List Tuesdays- Think of this as the chaser to Mondays, for those who didn’t make it into work or didn’t have time to finish Mondays they still get new content of Tuesdays but it compliments Monday by being shorter and easier to digest.

Bible Wednesdays- I bought a new Bible because my friend has probably the coolest Bible I’ve ever seen and it made me jealous… I know that’s not a good reason to buy a new Bible but meh. Wednesdays will be a short, like 1-2 paragraphs, talking about what I’m reading that week.

Guest Post Thursdays- (these will NOT be every week)- no longer pushed off to the dark emptiness that is Saturdays, Guest Post will now be smack dap in the middle of the week to shine in all of their Guest Post-y glory.

Creative Fridays- I know when most of you read Guest Post Thursdays you’re palms began to sweat at the fear that I may have gotten rid of the only writing you actually like to read, which was my Random Thursday fiction posts. Well, if you loved Donald and the Dust Bunnies, or you loved the Bill Cosby lip-sync video, then you’ll love waking up on Fridays to find something light and awesome to push you on through the weekend.

I’m excited to get back to posting content, and I apologize for being a slacker but I’m glad that people kept reading and pushed this blog all the way up to 1000 views!
