I HATE technology
I swear technology exists just to make us crazy. I use my email to send myself whatever chapter of my WiP I'm currently working on so that I can work on it during my excessively long lunches at work. I then email that back home to myself as an attachment, edit it into my overall WiP, and put the new text onto the lj. Well, I did that yesterday from work, and I bloody well KNOW the damn email sent because it was sitting in my sent box, and yet NO FREAKIN' EMAIL SHOWS UP IN MY YAHOO ACCOUNT. I could just scream. There are actually at least two emails I sent my yahoo account from my work email last night and neither one shows up. And of course I have no access to my email except from work. Again, I could just scream. Some days, all this computer crap just isn't worth the headaches it brings . . .
The only thing that IS showing up in my damn inbox isn't even the stupid file I WANT. It's rough, cliched, not done, and probably just a plain flat-out bad first attempt at femmeslash or femslash or whatever the blasted proper name for slash involving two female characters actually is. (WHY is it that even fans can't seem to agree on a name for something that's really THAT basic a kind of category? Really? Honestly? Not to be gripe here or anything, but I FAIL to understand the cohesion of basic nomenclature for fandom-related things, sometimes!) *Sighs, mutters grumbles mumbles* Bleach on it and bleach on me and purple prose and just - GAH! Why do I think it's such a good idea for the handmaidens to partner off, anyway???? *Head-desk* I might fool with it some more later. Give it another polish. Post it and try to pretend it no longer exists or something . . . Maybe if I look at it again, the other file will take pity on me and actually, you know, DOWNLOAD . . .
