The Case of the Err-ant Blog Post

September 6, 2008 by Liz Leave a Comment

It Didn’t Seem Adventurous When I Wrote It

Ant_from_sxc.hu

Yesterday, I followed my promise. I took my time and worked at a fine leisurely pace, seriously to attending to what I had to accomplish. I finished things that had been towering over me. In fact, I found a few minutes to fit in a couple of new things.

This morning, I find . . . well actually I didn’t find one of the blog posts I’d put together. Apparently though my all-too-human error, I left some door open for that missive to crawl away like an ant striking out across the virtual desert.

Thus, the Case of the Err-ant Blog Post. If you see a tiny ant-like thing wander across your screen in the next hour or so, could you direct it back this way? After that, let it keep going. I’ll have already replaced it.

Don’t you hate it when inanimate objects don’t behave?

    I have the template post eating monster over hear. I thought if I offered it some cookies maybe it could eat those instead.

    Yeah, Sage,
    It makes me just a teensy bit crazier. 🙂

    And now iTunes is converting ALL of my music even though I asked it not to. Were all of these programs endowed with too much self-esteem?

    Hi Mother Earth!
    Maybe I should upload a picture of some treat to provide the same sort of temptation. 🙂

    Poor Liz. I think technology just picks on some of us. Me, every time I sync my iphone I get every podcast I’ve ever downloaded to my laptop, even though I specifically tell it not to. I’ve tried tricking it with reversed psychology (checking the yes box), but it still doesn’t cooperate. The trick is to have my 14 year old niece do it. It likes her, I think because she’s cuter. 🙂

    Hi Amy!
    I have a secret theory, but I can’t type into my computer or say it on my phone. 😉

    I have theories like that… So what now, we’re left with postcards and messages-in-bottles, now that Western Union stopped doing telegrams?

    Though I suppose telepathy would be the “green” way…

    LOL. Sometimes it really feels like that. Know-alls or know-betters some of them. Coaching them into a better mood takes all day, sending them to bed early sometimes helps, but then there is always that lingering ‘fear’ they stay grumpy after you wake them up again and refuse to do the most simple task you kindly ask them.

    Hi Karin!
    Exactly, those pestering critters get the best of me every now and then. 🙂

    Liz — Gotta be careful with those dark parking garages, as most have cameras now. Sneaky spies. 🙂

    P.S. After I commented here yesterday I lost one blog post and a second one scrambled itself into gibberish. I took Karin’s advice and put my blog to bed early. Pesty critters indeed. 😉
