Did you ever have one of those bad computer days riddled with online technological problems? Ben Franklin, Bossy is looking at you.
Case in point:
The above is a photo of Bossy’s blog yesterday, a little blog she likes to call I Am Bossy. If you notice, the right column is mysteriously empty. This right-hand column is where Bossy typically features advertisements, and those advertisements are responsible for all of Bossy’s revenue, where revenue equals Is it economically feasible to earn a half-penny an hour?
There were no advertisements in Bossy’s right-hand column yesterday because there was nothing in Bossy’s right-hand column yesterday. Shall we take a closer look?
There was nothing in Bossy’s right column yesterday because there was some sort of glitch that occurred when Bossy tried to add a linked button to her right column. And the button Bossy was trying to add was a button featuring the Alpha Mom website which would serve to alert Bossy’s readers that Bossy writes a column for the Alpha Mom website three times a week, where writes a column equals Bossy scribbles stuff on photos with arrows and stuff. Oh, also, Bossy has been writing for Alpha Mom for nearly two years so it’s a lucky thing she decided to alert her readers.
Hello one person left still hanging on by bloody fingernails!
Back to technological problems. At the exact moment Bossy was attempting to add the Alpha Mom link to her site, that’s when the whole right column crashed. Luckily Bossy had her beautiful and talented design team to bail her out, which they did faster than you can say One of them lives in Illinois and one in Virginia and they’ve never met and yet work together like a swiss clock.
So while Bossy’s beautiful and talented design team was ironing out her right column issues, Bossy decided she needed to redesign the Alpha Mom badge she had just designed because Bossy suspected it was too large for the column, causing all the crashing problems.
And so Bossy opened up Photoshop and spent an hour redesigning her Alpha Mom badge button badge button sister mercy which is it, but before she could hit save — and because Bossy is an arse who did not think it was necessary to hit save during that hour of work — Photoshop crashed. And her new badge button redesign was lost.
Bossy was so depressed to lose her photoshop work she decided to look for distraction in the many emails Bossy receives each day through Gmail. Except Gmail was down and when Bossy tried to access her emails it looked like this:
Bossy can sum up her technologically-challenged Tuesday in this way: Screw this, let’s go outside in the actual air. Breathe.Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, use the comment section to vent about something in your life that isn’t working as it should.
