Overcoming hypocrisy: My first blog post

By: Melissa Lackey | 03/12/2008

Recently I was called a hypocrite by one of my colleagues. My reaction? Damn, she's right (although she still says she was joking). Shame on me!

But, I've never attempted to blog myself. So I have to ask myself, what kind of a role model am I? Truth be told, I've offered up a million and one reasons for not having blogged yet (my favorite is simply not having enough time).

After all, aren't there just 24 hours in a day?
