My productivity today, let me show you it?
My goal today was to get a bunch more written on my food meta post. Let me tell you the story of how that utterly failed to happen.
I decided that before I started the meta I ought to make a [ 'contact a mod (comments screened)' post] at fish-recs, not because I think that people need to contact me about the comm, but because I don't think that people have anything to say to me about the comm anonymously. (If that sounds rather like a failure of logic, let's just sum up with because the internet tells me that that's the proper thing to do when one is running a comm.) That took maybe fifteen minutes.
Which meant that I needed to update the comm profile page to reflect the existence of that post. And I decided that whilst I was there I might as well double-check the profile and edit it a bit. That took maybe half an hour.
And then I thought this, 'Hmmm, I should probably also update [ my recs policy post] to reflect this info as well. And that shouldn't take too long, after all, I've already written up a blurb for the profile page. So all told, my tiny little digression into being a responsible comm mod will be a tiny little digression before I can get onto the fun stuff of writing meta about food! Yay!'
So then I went to the policy page. And decided that since it's been a while since I looked at it, I should probably look over it and make sure that it's still accurate. And then I poked at it. It sort of quivered like jelly. Since I am the sort of fish who cannot resist such things, I poked at it again.
Something like FIVE HOURS OF WORK LATER, I am now done with the edits to that page. (And I've been staring at it for so long that I have no idea if the changes I've made have any sense to them or if it's just gobbledygook. I also have no idea if anyone has ever actually read that thing. I really kind of hope so, I've spent a lot of work on it...)
FIVE HOURS, PEOPLE! FIVE HOURS!!!!! WTF?!?!! I'm kind of baffled on how exactly that happened...
So I clearly haven't started working on the meta about food today and now it's time to go do housework.
(This would be why I've decided that clearly I don't need to make a contact-a-mod post at bettinas-fandom today (there are only a few members and no one's posted anything in ages, so I doubt that it's lack will be felt). Because if I make a contact-the-mod post I'd be tempted to dust off one of the partially-written drafts that I have and that clearly would result in even more time spent not writing meta about food!)
THIS IS WHY I DON'T LIKE BEING RESPONSIBLE! IT GETS IN THE WAY OF ME HAVING FUN! *hammers her feet fins like hammers*
And now I'm off to housework. Here's wishing you all a lovely day.
