Who has two thumbs and was outside of Beverly Hills Public Library before staff members could unlock the doors?! THIS GIRL! [aims thumbs at self]
I thought I was running late to work this morning when I left my place at a time that wouldn’t land me here by nine. I thought about going by Bristol Farms for a warm craft beverage and earn another stamp on my loyalty card. Yesterday afternoon, …
[5 hours pass]
Well, I was about to type a quick daily life entry, bringing you to where I am in this moment and what I’m about to do… maybe? I don’t know, all I know is that I clicked off the page to go look at return flights from Sint Marteen, since I’ve only booked a one-way to go there, I’m reminded that we’ll be going in less than a month and I haven’t booked my way back.
Girl, my nerves are TOO bad; Squarespace done pissed me off!!! Ugh!
Have you ever been working on a document or project back in school and the text or object or a margin won’t go exactly where you want it to go or it won’t stay placed how you want it placed and you want to knock thee entire computer over in the lab, but you know you’ll be sent to the principal’s office for good reason this time, leaving you to only sit there fuming?!
I promise that if I could risk this MacBook never turning on again, I’d’ve slapped tf out this bih! It’s a shame for me to be THIS frustrated behind formatting.
Attempting to build a glossary page for my site, I click a pre-built template page, “details.” It looks as though it’ll be great, and at first, when I’m only replacing text, it is! This could make for a functional and beautiful glossary page, but nooooooooo, the moment I try to add another entry beyond the three slots already available to get users started, everything goes awry!
Why, oh, why does a duplicate button not exist when using templates in Squarespace?????? This is senseless. I want to punch this webpage developer in the face.
No “duplicate” would be okay if the template made it possibly to duplicate manually. But noooooooo, this dumb, raggedy, got dog’on template shows a layout that can’t even be done manually with the Squarespace editing tools. What kind of sense does that make??
[sighs deeply]
Low Battery
You Mac will sleep soon unless plugged into a power outlet.
I know, I know, I need to go.
I kept trying to format that “details” Squarespace page, thinking that there’s no way possible that the template would show something that can’t be done. I even opened another page of the same to try again from the beginning, take a different approach.
This aggravation has worked up an appetite.
I already spent 7 bucks on a vanilla latte with plant-based milk to be sitting here in this coffee shop. When the library hadn’t opened its doors yet, since I was 15 minutes early [grins] (that feels good to say), I figured it was a sign that I had time to grab a warm beverage afterall.
Oh yeah, yesterday afternoon, I wrote from inside of Bristol Farms’ cafe. Hm, that’s not what I was about to say… earlier, before being derailed with other blog details, over five hours ago.
Wherever I was going, it was likely leading to a picture painting of how I’m in the place to want to pay for a co-working space. Hm, I’m reading back over those lines up above and I really haven’t a clue what I was about to do. Child, I let this lil’ mind go sometimes and connections will magically arise, full circles, making it all make sense.
Right now, I ain’t got it… eight percent.
I’ve only moved out of this corner at Kelly’s Coffee and Fudge once.
Yeah, this place on the daily won’t work for me either. Not for long. I can see these bitter and nasty cafe patrons getting on my got darn nerves. This only elderly woman holding herself up with a mobility aid berated the woman behind the counter for not cutting her fudge neatly enough. I had to stop from what I was doing, lean over and look.
Why do customers think they can talk to food service workers any kind of way?!
I was telling my best guy friend, Calvin, on the phone the other day that the manner in which people treat others behind the slightest upset in food service establishments needs to be studied.
Six percent… Okay, I’m really packing up now.
My Lord, all my upper back is beginning to ache.
You know, the former me would’ve beat myself up for not getting anything done today. The current me is going to give myself grace. I’m glad that I showed up.
Okay, this cafe portion of the building that holds the Beverly Hills Public Library is closing in under an hour.
This has really been an entire work day, and for the bulk of it, I was working on my website productively, before that Squarespace details template page sent my pressure up. I added SEO details to the post that I typed and shared from the app while sitting in Bristol Farms, sipping on a delicious “butterfly exilir” yesterday. And when I say that I added SEO details, I don’t mean that I added an SEO title and SEO description, which I did do, yet that was only the beginning. I added image description text to all the in-blog images and visible captions under them, then began adding hyperlinks throughout the writing, which is where I was derailed to that darned glossary page.
Four percent, and this is a 2015 MacBook, so depending on the day, I could be playing with fire under from the first low battery warning.
Later y’all, hopefully I don’t have too many thoughts to continue sorting before I could get to really working. [deep exhale]
aroundwithTK is where I’m figuring it out along the way. Most of it, right now, at least, is for me, but if you happen to be here, I’m glad. In a dream world, the mundane and annoying matters that I go through could help you too. Other writers have readers; I consider mine riders. Thank you for coming along and I hope you’ll stick AROUND.
