okay, this is really getting annoying

Apparently I’m officially an OD Addict and I probably need treatment, because my withdrawal symptoms are becoming severe. Symptoms including an almost overwhelming desire to shriek profanity at the computer when I can’t check notes and I can’t leave notes and I can maybe get one screen to load up and then I can’t do anything ELSE and I NEED TO BE ON OD NOW I HAVE BEEN MOSTLY OD-LESS FOR THREE DAYS AND IT NEEDS TO STOP BEING A BEEOTCH RIGHT THIS MINUTE AND COOPERATE !!!!!

This isn’t good when I’m at work especially. Because usually I’m okay with just checking in now and again during the workday if I need a break or have a little downtime, but now that sometimes I can get in and sometimes I can’t get in and when I CAN get in it’s usually only for a couple of minutes and not long enough to actually do anything for me but make my withdrawal symptoms WORSE….. well of course all I can think of is "Is OD back up? is OD back up? is OD back up? is OD back up???….."

And why am I even bothering writing this? I can’t imagine it’s actually going to save. I think I just HAVE TO HAVE SOME CONTACT AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT NOW, and my Write An Entry screen DID come up, so I have to try. Even if I feel like I’m just tossing a bottle with a message inside out into the ocean! A message that says "Please help me; I’m a complete and total loon and I have no life outside OD!!" obviously.

Wow, shortest entry ever. Because why put any effort into it if it may well not work?? Why mention our gorgeous gorgeous weather or the fun Outback or the fact that I have Dancing Queen stuck in my head after listening to our local AM station this morning for maybe the first time ever, where the DJ kept playing Dancing Queen after hearing about some guy who played Dancing Queen for four hours straight while driving from Chicago to… somewhere else. He wanted a challenge. So the DJ, who was surprisingly funny for a local AM station, kept playing Dancing Queen and ranting about how he can’t stand ABBA but he felt like he had to keep playing Dancing Queen for four hours because he wanted a challenge too. It was a lot funnier than it probably sounds.

Well, I’m pressing "Save" now. If it doesn’t, you may hear me screaming from all the way over there wherever you are.

OMG OMG OMG it saved!!!

And I can’t go anywhere else now. Anything else I hit just sits there with the little hourglass spinning around for eternity. Guess I’ll just leave myself notes, since I can’t note anybody else!

Oh believe me there has been a lot of angst across the water in kilt-land as well! I nearly burst into tears at one point the other day because everything I was doing was either needlessly-complicated/wrong/needing-checked-because-someone-else-wasn’t-doing-their-job-properly/frustrating and when I decided to have some OD time and it was still playing up I almost flipped! Maybe there will be hospitals for the likes of us in the future.

I believe when I posted my mug uncensored, it brought down the system.

I had exactly the same reaction. I think Marg is right, we all may need hospitalization.

I think I heard you, but it’s hard to tell since I was yelling also. Have a super day!

ryn: Mimi wears a little yellow bow, on the opposite side. So if you ever see a kitty with her bow on (her right, you’d see it as left) ear, and yellow, that’s Mimi. *GRINS*

By the way, please help me in thanking the diary master for taking care of this site. He does the best he can (with a job and family and nowhere near the funds of the sites we’re used to being infallible (ie Google.).

80 and rude-yep he’s from Florida. That odd smell is from the chemicals that lady soaked her dead husband’s body in to hasten the decomposition so she could bury him in a smaller hole- or maybe it’s the mats. 8)

I was going to write something to the effect that the best treatment for your unfortunate addiction is to take your cousin somewhere scenic in your fashionable vehicle. But how would we fit it into our complicated lives??

I’ve been so busy, I missed the anxiety of it all. I hate it when OD is down when I want to use it. I guess because when I do have time, I don’t want to mess with no access.

Apparently, I missed the OD screw ups and I can’t tell you how happy I am that I did!
