A few hours ago, I wrote
(what I thought) was a witty and astute post about my visit today to
the acupuncturist. I devoted much attention to my choice of words and
was painstakingly careful with my grammar and punctuation. It took me
upwards of half an hour to write my two paragraph entry, though this is
probably because I was simultaneously watching a gripping TiVoed
episode of Law and Order, SVU. Anyway, when I finally felt my
words and commas and yes, even a few semicolons had eloquently
expressed the revelations I incurred during my afternoon endeavor, I
hit "post to blog" and poof! my post was gone. In an attempt to prove
Einstein's defintion of insanity, I pushed "back" and "forward" over
and over again, hoping that each time I would find that my words were
in fact not lost forever in Internet purgatory. However, my efforts
were in vain. I huffed away, stubbornly thinking "Well internet, if
you don't want to post my brilliant words the first time, then you
won't get to post them at all. Nanny nanny poo poo!" I then realized
that I could glare all I wanted, but the computer was not going to
change its position on the matter. With the slumping posture of one
admitting defeat, I emailed Lex, my go to guy for mediation any time
the computer and I don't see eye to eye. His explanation: It was a
.Net bug that would be fixed at some point. And he was sorry.
Excellent. So, unfortanutely for you, the world will never be
enlightened by what I'm sure now were words that were destined to solve
poverty and hunger, appease all warring nations, and lead to the
discovery of scientific evidence that chocolate is actually the
healthiest food in existence. Such a shame.
AND IN WHAT I'M SURE WAS FATE'S SAUCY ATTEMPT AT HUMOR, when I tried to post the above the first time, the same thing happened again! Thankfully, I do learn from my mistakes and therefore copied my post into a Word doc before taking the plunge! :o)
