Well...For Goodness Sake

I didn't write anything last night because for the last two weeks, my page views have gone down from the 100's to almost nothing and I got the pip. Yes, this is me being vindictive. So then I get to work and find that 40 people have viewed me before 8am. I mean I know I had to get up at 5am for stupid boot camp but what's your excuse, person from Guadeloupe? And where is that?

So now I'm feeling guilty and have to scramble to write something. Does everyone agree that the paragraph above is sufficient? Good, then let's move on.  A little more consistency, please people.  And donations.  Which almost sounds like donuts.  Which I will also take.

On another note, I had an interesting phone conversation with someone at work that I've never spoken to before.  We had a phone meeting scheduled and as soon as I started to talk, I could tell that my accent had thrown them for a loop.  Or it's possible they weren't understanding what I was saying about technology.  I mean I Googled it but I was bit shaky on the details and legitimacy of my points.  Pressed on anyway, say anything with conviction and a foreign accent and people will buy it.

Them: Are you from Australia?
Me: No, the other one
Them: Oh, South Africa.
Me: No, the other other one.
Them: Ahh, got it.  England.
Me: No, the other other other one that is apparently a big secret and yet to be discovered.
Them: You don't sound Irish to me, is it Wales?
Me: Yes.  Sigh...

The Day The Blog Post Died...i.e. Yesterday

And by died, I mean deleted by an idiot*. Who then used their technical skills gained from their career in digital technology to recover it...and by recover, I mean rewrite from scratch. Turns out I don't know how to access the Google server and retrieve my one blog post from the lines and lines of code. In fact I don't even know if what I just wrote would be a viable solution. And by viable solution, I mean...I don't know what I mean, I was just trying to keep in my theme of "and by...". Themes are hard.

Several of you thought this was a blog post in itself when I notified you on Facebook of the untimely demise of the blog post. And I thought, what a great idea. And then as I started to write it, I realized this: wrote blog post, deleted it, started over, posted it. The end.
*He's not really an idiot. He's a cat. And he just pushed the wrong button by mistake**
 **Lie.  Blamed the cat for my mistake.
