Sometimes the Internet is a curse.
Sep. 19th, 2004 04:32 pmToo often, in fact.
I've just spent about an hour writing to one of my friends, who I don't write to often enough. I find it easier writing to the vague air that is LJ than to real people whom I wish to communicate with.
(Yes, I'm aware that *most* of you out there in LJ-land are real people!)
Then, having finally written a long, newsy and interesting email, I pressed 'send'. One does. It's the traditional way of sending something. Or so I thought.
STUPID ME!! One does not press 'send' when dealing with Yahoo. First one must select all the text one is desirious of sending, press CTRL C, and then 'send'. That way, if it's decided to play 'not there', Yahoo won't have erased all your hard work.
Maybe I'm maligning Yahoo, but it's the only email server I've lost things with - and it's great in almost every other way.
But now I have to try and write another nice newsy email, and it's never as good as the first. I just want to kick and scream!!!
*kick*
*scream*
Right. That's that over and done with. Now I'll take my own advice, and write in Word, and cut and paste.
*makes note in notebook to do this everytime. Then makes note on hand to read note in notebook*
