Multi-tasking: Not for Everyone

See the source image

I have to go to the eye doctor on Tuesday, and will probably be there all morning. But I want my blog not to fail that day, so I have tried to schedule posts to appear that morning.

This is harder than it looks, because if I click the wrong thing, or forget a step, the post intended for Tuesday morning will be published now instead. I was also talking with Susan on the phone while I was trying to do this.

So, here I am, trying to set a hymn, Wonderful Words of Life, for publication Tuesday morning, and I had the hubris to say, “I’m getting to be a wiz at this.” Yep, all I had to do was load the hymn onto the mouse, come back to my own site, set up a page for the new post, and click “Paste,” and it’s showtime–!

Only instead of the hymn, I’ve got the hamster video from last night. The hamsters are not singing the hymn.

Back to Youtube. Load the hymn again. Back here, unload, and publish the post–except I missed a step, and so the hymn is published now instead of Tuesday.

Multi-tasking is not for everyone. It’s certainly not for me. Nevertheless, I have to resort to it occasionally.

So if you’re here Tuesday morning, spare a thought for how freakin’ hard it was to get there.

    1. Have you disable comments intentionally?? If you mentioned it and I missed it, I apologize.

    2. No, I don’t disable the comments. WordPress does it for me! (*!*) I don’t want them to, but I’m afraid to ask them to stop, lest they replace this with a worse problem. You’re new here: you didn’t see what a mess it was when they changed my format to light blue letters, half their usual size, on a light grey background.
      They’ve added steps to the posting procedure, and if I forget one, usually that causes the comments to be automatically disabled and then I have to go back and un-disable them. This happens a lot.

      Anyhow, it would be a drag to have a comment contest when comments are disabled.

      Please bear with me, I’m doing the best I can.

    3. That’s okay! I thought it was odd, but I thought maybe I missed something. And what a terrible pain for you! I’m sorry😕 I know you always do your best and you do a wonderful job! 😊 Good luck at the eye doctor tomorrow 🙏🏻

  1. Technology is making life so durned easy that we’re all about to drop over from sheer exhaustion. 🙂
