    I’ve read a few entries already. They are great! Now to read the rest.

    The group writing project is also a good way to discover interesting blogs. Thanks for co-ordinating this, Robert.

    What a wonderful project Robert! I know what it takes to put something like this together, inspiring your readers to participate, and your subject – the world of work – is such a playground of possibility for me in what I do, I had to say mahalo, thank you very much for doing this. I am a new reader to your blog, and I have only had the pleasure of knowing three of your contributing authors up to now, so I am looking forward to visiting the others throughout my coming week.

    Yo Robert! Bob! Buddy!

    It’s been a while since we’ve spoken ;-) I see Middle Zone Musings has gotten quite popular since I took a little blogging sabbatical… ohhh, almost a year ago now!

    Happy to see things are going well! I’ll be reading your posts from hereforth… and watch out, my blog’s coming back real soon!

  8. # Robert Hruzekon Jun 11th 2007 at 7:11 pm

    Yvonne – Congratulations! You deduced my clever plan! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

    Karin – I’m so glad you decided to join us – it wouldn’t be the same without YOU!

    Monique – Sorry you, er, missed it. Next month, same time, same place – be here!

    Lille – So glad I found YOUR blog, too! Thanks for joining us this month.

    (The Other) Bob – “Old”? Whaddaya mean, “old”!!!

    Rosa – Aloha, and welcome to the Middle Zone! Thanks for the kind words – but it’s really about the participants, they’re the real stars.

    DUSTIN, old buddy! Long time no hear – I thought you’d fallen in a snowdrift up there in Canada and couldn’t find your way out! Hey, I’ll have to add you back to the ol’ RSS reader. Welcome back!

    Eighteen entries? 17 by my count! Is it because you forgot this one:

    http://jejinternet.blogspot.com/2007/06/what-i-learned-from-industrial-cleaning.html

    Worthwhile project with some interesting entries. I look forward to reading the rest. Perhaps they could be compiled into an ebook at some point?

    Markk, thanks, I must have missed it somehow. Mondays, you know… :-(

    I’ve thought about collecting these into e-books, but I’m not sure it’s kosher from a legal standpoint. Thoughts, anyone?
