Audition Piece

I’m trying out for a gig at b5 media as their replacement Business and Blogging blogger. My test post was just published last night, so I thought I’d send y’all that way. They haven’t decided who will take over for Des yet, but I thought I’d throw my hat into the ring. I know a few things about business and blogging.

I got a good laugh last night when the editor asked if I’d mind replacing the metaphor “crapped the bed” with something a little less, um, arresting. I always go too edgy, but I think I’d rather be pulled back from the brink than be considered too safe or boring. [In fact, I wanted to use the phrase “his computer shit the bed,” but thought better of it.] Anyhow, go take a gander. Leave a comment if you feel so inclined. I’m still auditioning.
