Teddy Radiator

Well, I don't usually say this, but I think today's been one of the worst days I've had in years. Work is solely to blame - new computer system that doesn't work, I don't know if we have been credited for all the hard work we did, Wal-mart douchebaggery beyond belief, and yes, Facebook has kicked me out forthe 4th time.

I just don't want to talk about crap everything is. It's too dreary and depressing and I just want to go to bed and lick my wounds. I'll catch you all tomorrow - and thanks for the AMA today - it was truly the only bright spot in this shit day.

Well, It's Sunday, and I feel diabolical. Not sure if it's some kind of virus or whatever, but I feel like someone's dropped a brick on my head and I'm just trying to recover. Eyes are burning (from wearing contacts too long, so that part's self-inflicted), but I must have been running a low-grade fever in the night because I woke up sweaty and tired. Oh well, I haven't been ill in a long time. I'm probably due.

As toblass observed, I think Dahlra was looking out for me this week. Due to a lot of reasons I won't go into (and none of them to do with the crazy that was FB this week), I felt the need to temporarily deactivate my Facebook account. I am hoping to do more with my author page, and decided to take FB down to think about it. Also, it was taking up a huge amount of time. I was looking at stuff on it that had no interest for me whatsoever, and yet I was scrolling through on a seriously multi-hour basis. Like Tumblr, it was sucking up too much time.

Amazingly, this was just before all the crazy happened, so I missed getting caught up in it, unlike a few of my friends. I'm sorry you had to go through that. This person has some serious problems, but for some reason I was spared the aggro. I'm not worried about ff.net; if she wants to report me there, it's no big loss. But she could have given me a lot of grief on FB - I've built up a nice set of friends and I wanted to continue doing so. As it stands, I took myself down before it all got weird. I had actually written a note to everyone saying I was going to deactivate my account for a month, but of course, the moment I did it, my message disappeared as well. Thank you to my friends who wrote and expressed concern. I had no earthly idea anything was going on, even after droxy called me. I just thought she was checking up on me - I had no idea of the fan-hitting shit going on.

After a setback last week, I had hoped to be back on track to finish the last chapter of the novel, but this lurgy has other plans. I hope to finish soon, hence my icon. I just can't concentrate long enough to write anything substantial, which brings me on to my next rant.
