Don't Waste Your Own Time

Just a quick vent about how I wasted my only half-day last week by rushing because I had to shower and go to work.

Do not want this to happen to anyone else because it ruined my night at work. Never again, lol.

I was writing a post after a week of new job hunting and then being sick. It was the only time I had this week before today to add another post. It is finished now, so all is good.

What happened? I wrote the post, found pictures and links to Amazon. I thought "perfect, I'm gonna get this done in time to nap before work", so not the case. I have terrible internet service where I am and that day it was acting up horribly. I save everything along the way, even changes in my text I made. It was doing that "oh snap" thing about every 10 minutes. I was looking for the pictures I saved and the links I added and text changes.

I realized I had not updated after adding pictures and links, or had the chance because it snapped as soon as I had everything added. I looked at my post and nothing was there, just the original text.

Needless to say, a total waste of my own time and it was all my own fault for not updated after each picture and change. This is what I am doing now!

It usually takes me a couple of hours to write, edit, add pictures and links, but this took 2 half days. Thanks for reading!

Hi Susan, yep, unreliable internet service can be a nightmare for those of us who count on it for business. Sounds like you have the process of saving often down now.

Hope you are feeling better!
