Blog as soap opera

Ned Lundquist squeezes a lot of work into the same 24-hour day the rest of us have. He produces the enormously successful Job of the Week (JOTW) mailing list as a volunteer gig. He has a job. He has a family. He’s the accreditation marketing honcho for IABC (another volunteer assignment), doing more with the role than we’ve seen in years. You’d think he’d take whatever spare time he has to catch his breath.

Instead, he’s launched a blog. Wait, no. It’s not a blog. It’s a soap opera called Realitcomm. He’s just using Blogger to host it.

In an e-mail message to the JOTW subscriber list, Ned writes:

Will Maria Xenia Eleftheriadis, aka “Moxie,” the MegaloCorp director of corporate communications, convince CEO Tad Offal that “gift baskets for the homeless” is a tasteless idea that could backfire?

Will community relations director Genevieve D’Ecolletage get the gift baskets packed up and distributed in time for the holidays?

Is Tad really going to write a book?  About what?  Does it matter?

Will communications specialist Penny Stock’s horoscope (To you on this day, everything, every person, every dream and every conscious thought shall be a vessel full of delight. Taste each as they are presented to you…) come true?

Does anyone notice that mailroom courier and English football hooligan Ian Collins has a new tattoo?

Will Hillary Cribb, the evil web mistress, pay freelancer Charlotte Web for her work building the MegaloCorp Intranet?

See just how close the reality at MegaloCorp parallels the reality at your own dysfunctional communication department.  Check out Realiticomm, the new reality blog that tells it like it is.  You won’t want to miss a single day as life for Megalomaniacs routinely cycles from the sublime to the absurd, just like your’s.
