Delurkers Unite!

This is what happens when you go away to Atlanta for a week - you come back home with your Google Reader overflowing (280 posts!?!? really guys?!?!) and realize that it's Delurking Day/Week. And we at Working Girl practically missed it all.

I have confessed many a time that I am a huge lurker. I'm not a good commentor (one of my New Year's resolutions!), so this is the perfect week for me to start. And it's the perfect time for you to start too!

WG1 and I read our Google Analytics. We know there are a lot of you out there lurking and we'd love to meet you! So leave us a comment or e-mail us.

You know you want to!

I'm a long time lurker! I love reading your posts and as a fellow working girl I can totally relate to a lot of what you say.

constance said...

Hi...my name is Constance and I'm a lurker! The first step is admitting you have a problem, right? :)

Herding Cats said...

Okay, guilty as charged. I love your blog, but I don't think I've commented because I'm like that nerdy girl in junior high who is afraid of the popular girls. But yah, love you guys!

cass said...

Hey girls! Love your blog. Mostly your reviews of The City (who doesn't love Whitney?). I also find myself wondering who has time to have pre-work breakfast chats with their friends.

Unknown said...

well I think I've commented a few times, so maybe not a complete delurking.. but yeah! Hi I read your blog and love it :)

Jackie said...

I've commented before, but not in a while....so I figured I would stop by and say hey!

And that man in the delurking picture is kind of creepy, haha.

Kristi said...

I'm a semi-lurker. I've commented a handful of times, but I read everday! It sure feels good to delurk.

Well, hi. :) I'm a delurker, as well, and a very enthusiastic reader, as well!

I was wondering, though, do schoolgirls count as working girls, too?

JustCasey said...

I need help! I activated a Google Analytics thing for my website but I don't know where to paste the code. I tried to follow their 'help' instructions and I pasted the code right before the 'body thing' that they described but my status is still showing a "tracking not installed message"
What am I doing wrong?

Working Girl One said...

JustCasey, when I installed ours I wasn't sure if i did it correctly so I emailed the Google Analytics people. Then, it worked!

The Laceys said...

Can't remember if I have commented on here or not! But love this blog! More drunken nights with coworkers. Love those stories. I live vicariously!

CIP said...

I'm not really a lurker, but I don't comment as much as I'd like to. I'll try to get better *promise!*

steph anne said...

I think I've commented once or twice, but I'll still come out as a lurker : ) you girls are great!

Kirsty said...

Hi... I'm guilty! I just love your office stories. I'm a former working girl and can totally relate, especially with the posts on all the different office personalities :)

NikeRun said...

Hi! I'm NikeGirl! I'm a lurker and I love your blog. I actually just ran into it this past week or so. I read some archives and can't wait for more!

Kat said...

I'm a lurker....Ms. Homeowner from Canada (aka the Great White North) here!

I started reading your blog because I was looking for advice on how to deal with a job that you hated!

Keep the posts coming!

Manderz said...

I've written a comment or two before, but delurking is just way too much fun to pass up. Keep up the great writing - you're on my favs list.

Lauren said...

I was never a lurker, but hi! here i am!

I just jumped on your bandwagon.
You'll see me pop up from time to time.

If you ever want to read about NOT WORKING... my blogs the one for you.

Jessi said...

I've been a lurker since last summer! I luv your site, especially the fashion posts :)

Karen said...

I think I may have posted a comment here once or twice before, just want to say I love your blog! I am a fellow working girl and feel like I can really relate to your stories!

Actually, I really like it when you do the different "Working Girl" stories from all different peoople in different industries/jobs/etc...!

Downbeat said...

I've commented before, but not for awhile. I love reading what you ladies are up to and look forward to continuing reading you in the future!

Ohmygoshi said...

calixta.jive. said...

i love love love your blog... i'm lurking as we speak (as you read?)!!!

KChristensen said...

I'm so guilty of this on like 10 different blogs, but yours is definitely one I hope to see updates on daily! I just joined the blogging world a couple weeks ago, so it's not that awful that this is my first time commenting, is it?

I, too, love your recaps of The City, I have yet to watch it, but don't think its necessary after hearing your play by plays...love it!

Meika said...

I'm a long time lurker too! I'm a working girl too! Love your blog, HATE The City, ha.

Laura said...

I have commented before so I'm not sure if I should be considered a lurker or not.

Okay. I am.

Cookie said...

Not sure if I've ever commented or not, but I've been reading regularly for about a month now, and sporadically for a couple past that. I think you both are hilarious, and I work events at MY job so sometimes I just feel like I can share in the frustrations and joys :)

B said...

Probably 95% lurker, 5% commenter.
Sending you delurking love from KS.

Caitlin said...

Hey Working Girls! I found your blog after WG2's story of meeting Hanson (love!)

I love your blog since I'm also 23 and a working girl in advertising. I can relate to just about everything but the freezing weather, haha.

E said...

I usually try to comment.... but at times I lurk as well!..... I am a follower does that count? lol anyway lurking: I think we all do from time to time! Love the blog! :)

Ambermutt said...

Lurker here, de-lurking... I adore this blog, it's one of my regular stops across the web.
:)

Love your site, gals! I'm a lurker too, so don't feel bad!!

Mark said...

Am I the only guy who reads your blog, or the only one who admits to it?

I find your stories of workplace drama and the career rollercoaster more entertaining than any TV shows trying to portray that. Hmm... maybe you need to be a reality show.

BrightCrayon said...

Full-time Lurker, part-time commenter. Commentor? Either way.


Always enjoy reading your blog girls, I'll be going into my first real job-job in May with Sherwin Williams. While it's more of a mixing paint, uniform type job (with Management training), within 6 weeks I'll be an assistant manager and begin climbing my way up the corporate ladder.

It's always amusing to read your blog, and see what sort of hurdles and possibilities I may have in front of me when I finally walk across the stage and begin my life. You girls are very talented, smart but always real. I think your readers would agree.

Keep it up!

Kate said...

I just found your blog :)

Janine / Being Brazen said...

I sometimes lurk....

Anush said...

Hello,

I check your blog often and its good for a quick lunch-hour read.

Anonymous said...

Am I too late? Can I be the first to delaurk for next year?

I confess, I lurk all the time. I love your blog!

moardy said...

Consider me delurked! It feels so good to finally get that out :)

TudorCity Girl said...

I there,, I'm a lurker.. recently became a follower. Great blog - it is somewhat addictive.
I'm the non-working girl blog in NYC. (as in - still can't find a job). You guys remind me a lot of myself at times in the office when I was in my 20s.
Congrats on a very successful blog!

Sistah to the Night said...
