Ordinary Gweilo

A certain Hong Kong blogger seems to be taking it all very seriously. He’s off on holiday soon, but doesn’t want his blog to come to a halt whilst he’s away.

He’s therefore looking for someone to take over for a few weeks. His ideal candidate is someone who already has a blog, but who will give priority to this much more important blog. In return they can promote their own humble site as much as they like.

I now realise that I have misunderstood this blogging thing. It’s not one person writing about what interests them, it’s about maintaining a corporate presence and boosting your image.

I have therefore decided that in order to keep up with the competition, I will be outsourcing OrdinaryGweilo.com and operating 24 x 7. Hey, we might be losing the personal touch, but what matters is that you the reader should not be inconvenienced just because I happen to be sick, working too hard, or on holiday.

If you wish to apply for the outsourcing contract, please send me 2 copies of your sealed tender together with a cashier’s cheque for US$100 by 11 a.m. on Monday December 1st. You should state the hours you would plan to operate, how many posts you will make each day, and the number of staff you plan to employ. If you already operate a blog, you will need to sign our standard “non-compete” contract. Good luck!
