The school year is just about over. I'm looking forward to no longer needing to answer the question, "When will you be coming?" or "When will you be ready" with the answer, "It depends on when the last parent picks arrives." If things work out, I'll be working at a camp, but I know they have a concrete late fee policy.
Why do I have to have spaces between my paragraphs? Why are we going through the level 0% thing again? Why doesn't a certain editor accept/reject submissions? It took him forever to look at my submissions a few months ago and it's happening again. Of course, I never knew for sure that he was accepting my submissions. He hasn't had a new blog or a forum post for six months, so I have the sneaking suspicion he isn't around very much (possibly isn't around at all.)
Before, I e-mailed him and asked him to look at my submissions. I figured that he might not check his queue regularly because this is a show that's been off the air for over 30 years and is not available on DVD. Now, it's easy to see whether or not there are any submissions waiting in the queue. No one should have to be e-mailed to be told.
Why does the Evil Library System's computer network keep telling me that I only have a few minutes left? I can look at the clock, thank-you very much. The message just cuts out my time and breaks my concentration.
In other news, the sun is shining and it's a beautiful day. Well, not exactly, but it sounds nice.

Not that that has any relevance to your blog, it just occurred to me that I haven't seen him and *pop* there it was on the page.
No internal editor. Or... a sort of functioning one that I turn off most of the time... hmm....
Anyway... (goes back and re-reads blog...) Oh, I bet the kiddies who submit to That 70s ~wish~ I were MIA! bwahahahah (evil. laughing. smiley.) I keep rejecting things, and while I always give reasons why, they don't seem to appreciate the fact that I think it's absolutely ~not~ necessary to repeat the main plot points in the Notes section.
Not that that has anything to do with your blog either... just making my answer personal!
MIA editors are annoying and should be reported. Someone popped up in the forum (not that I go there much any more, but I was there for the first time in weeks and weeks and this is what I read) the other day and complained that they'd been away (for 10 months) and not able to log on, and had had their guides STOLEN from them! The horror! The inhumanity!
This person wanted the guides back. No one was very sympathetic from what I read.
Stiggy, that is uncanny. I was just thinking the exact same thing about Midi while I was reading Lady T's last blog.
I hope that things with the camp work out and you are able to work there during the summer.
I turned off the blasted editor as I hate it. That would help, but you will have to use xhtml to make links and change the fonts.
That's terrible about the editor. I remember your previous blog about that. I wonder if sending missribs a PM would help. You could try that.
The library network system notification sounds annoying.
I actually had fun when I worked at one for a few years. The kids (9-11) liked having me and some were even sad (for a second) the first year I stopped doing the camp. Oh, memories.
There is now a great little indicator on the profile pages, that tell you when a user was last online. I just found an editor that hasn't been online since Aug 2005! I reported him as MIA even though I don't care about his two shows, simply because it is not right.
Of course, having been online doesn't mean you did anything more than check when the next episode of "Jeff Inc." (a really stupid new show) was going to be on, but it's something.
LOL Stig. The kids on the 70's show forum have made me read only about two threads per week. Most of them are fanfics and spoilers. Did you notice the one thread (I and others reported it) about one user who hates another user because they provide spoilers? It made me laugh because the complaining user was b!tching about reading threads that had spoilers and were marked with *SPOILERS* tags.
Oh, the humanity.
"This person wanted the guides back. No one was very sympathetic from what I read."
I was one of the non-sympathetic people that answered that thread.
When there's a beautiful day outside, every bad feeling can be ignored. At least for a short time... :O)
Thanks for pointing that out, 2C. I completely forget that we can see how long someone's been away. This guy's been away for nearly two weeks. Now I will attempt to remember/rediscover where and how I report a "missing" editor.
Sesho, it's not all about the computer itself. I could forgo this year's presents from my father and have him buy me a computer instead. However, I still don't want a phone line. It's all in my head, I know, but I'm unhappy living in a rental house, and in my "special" mind, installing a phone line will make it a permanent residence rather than a temporary dwelling. I don't want to go there. I'm hanging on the best I can as far as my living situation goes.
Or, you could get a wireless network adapter and see if anyone in your area have "open" internet access on their router. Or start a coffee habit, get a laptop and live in the local coffee shop with free WiFi.
