My blog host contacted me to ask if they could do a diagnostic on my blog. Sure enough there was something wrong with a piece of code that I had installed. They removed the threat and everything should be good. I do notice that my code page and my buttons to add links, bold and add bullet points are back.
I knew it wasn’t just my imagination. Hopefully everthing is now back to normal.
It’s on both of my blogs too. I just noticed it the other day and I have no idea how to fix it. I may have to go and re-update my templates but I want to keep the same ones that I have now. It took me long enough to find these and I don’t want to go through the drama of looking through hundreds of templates again.
Now I can’t perform certain functions on my posts. I can’t bold or highlight anything. It also doesn’t give me the option to link to other posts or add links. I have to go old-school and add everything by hand. Having the options on the tool bar to just click and update things made me lazy!
I guess I’ll add things through trial and error and hope I get them right.
I have another blog that I write on. Actually I have several that I don’t really keep up with. I consider two of them my junk blogs because I only update them once or twice a month. I just use them to try and keep my writing skills sharp.
They’re not even particulary good blogs either. I don’t talk about anything serious on them either. Nothing like the mesothelioma survival rate or even anything interesting. I mostly talk about sports and watching tv. Like I said nothing spectacular.
I was really surprised to find out that I had 4 people following one of those blogs. I bet they’re spammers that are leaving some of those ridiculous comments on that blog. Some people will do anything for a link back I guess.
That’s the only reason I can think that they’re following me. I mean it can’t be because they’re interested in what I have to say could it?
Interview With A Manager…There was a job opening in the country’s most prestigious law firm and it finally comes down to Robert and Paul.
Both graduated magna cum laude from law school. Both come from good families. Both are equally attractive and well spoken. It’s up to the senior partner to choose one, so he takes each candidate aside and asks, “Why did you become a lawyer?
Only seconds after talking to them both, he chooses Paul.
Baffled, Robert takes Paul aside after the interview. “I don’t understand why I was rejected. When Mr. Armstrong asked me why I became a lawyer, I said that I had the greatest respect for the law, that I’d lay down my life for the Constitution and that all I wanted was to do right by my clients. What in the world did you tell him?”
“I said I became a lawyer because of my hands,” Paul replies.
“Your hands? What do you mean?”
“Well, I took a look one day and there wasn’t any money in either of them!”
I told her the story about running into my old friend and how I was kicking myself for not getting his number. She was so mad at me cause she’s been plotting on sending out wedding invitations for a while. Yeah she’s tryna get rid of me. First she asked if I had his name and I said no. I know his first name but he probably doesn’t remember mine. Then she asked where he worked and I told her the story about the company he works for. She asked for the name and I said “iono”.
She told me that I’ve been on the sidelines so long that my mind wasn’t working correctly. Then she suggested that I hang out in the area that I saw him in and see if I can “accidently on purpose” run into him again. After I told her that he had a coffee in his hand, she said I should sit in the coffeeshop nursing a single cup of coffee all day while reading the free local paper.
She’s a howl which is why I told her the story. While I knew she would get on my case, I knew she would make me laugh and feel better about the situation. Now if I can just figure out how to bump into him again…..hmmmm. Hey a girl’s gotta try!
You know how there’s a situation that you’re not in the middle of but people want to ask you about it anyway? It’s not quite like when someone asks you whether they should buy the best acne treatment on the market and you try to give them a diplomatic answer. In the back of your mind you’re thinking “Yeah crater face”, but in reality you don’t want to say it out loud. Like I said, it’s not quite like that but it’s pretty close.
Hopefully the situation resolves itself without any sort of input from me. I hate tension and confusion and I don’t want my name in the middle of any of it. Especially since I’m not even directly involved.
I’ve finally started a exercise regiment. It’s only 4 days a week right now but I decided that if I start with something reasonable I’m more likely to stick to it. I know that I need new exercise dvds but I love to watch the programs On Demand. First of all, they’re free and there’s nothing better than that. I also don’t have to worry about energy auditing my house because all it costs me is the energy to run the television which I would have been doing anyway.
Imagine my surprise when I went to watch my favorite program and it was gone! They usually run them for 3 months at a time then replace them within 2 weeks with another program. It was unexpected to say the least. I was all ready to get started and that put a serious crimp in my plans.
Luckily I do have one dvd that’s my old standby that I was able to pull out and get my workout in. I don’t need any distractions cause it’s hard enough to stay motivated as it is.
I finally figured out that the check I was waiting for was at my Post Office box so I went and got it. I decided to walk to the nearest bank for my daily exercise. As I was walking up to the bank I saw someone looking at me but I wasn’t really paying too much attention to him. After I got through the door I noticed that he was behind me saying hello. I turned and said hi and we both went our separate ways.
A few minutes later I walked out of the bank and into Walgreens to get a ice cream sandwich. (It only makes sense right? I walked for exercise so I had to screw it up with ice cream…SIGH!!!!!!!!) Anywho as I was walking to the cashier he had come in and stopped to talk to me.
We stood there and chit-chatted for about 5 minutes. It was a pretty weird experience because we were never really friends but we had mutual acquaintances and worked at the same company. We even lived in the same apartment complex for a few months. As I was talking to him I couldn’t help but notice that he had gotten far more handsome than I remembered him being and he seemed taller lol. During the conversation he said some really complementary things which really made my day. I wasn’t expecting him to say that I needed to buy Lipovox but I wasn’t expecting him to say that I looked fine just the way that I am. Like I said, it pretty much made my day since I’m unhappy with the way I look.
Afterwards we both just went our separate ways. Now I can’t help but thinking that we should have exchanged numbers or something so we could keep in touch. Of course I would think of that after the fact! 
Rushing to work, I was driving too fast and as a result was pulled over by the highway patrol. The state trooper noticed that my shirt had the name of a local high school on it. “I teach math there,” I explained.The trooper smiled, and said, “Okay, here’s a problem. A teacher is speeding down the highway at 16 m.p.h. over the limit. At $12 for every mile, plus $40 court costs, plus the rise in her insurance, what’s her total cost?”
I replied, “Taking that total, subtracting the low salary I receive, multiplying by the number of kids who hate math, then adding to that the fact that none of us would be any-where without teachers, I’d say zero.”
He handed me back my license. “Math was never my favorite subject,” he admitted. “Please slow down.”
In my short post yesterday I alluded to the fact that my week started off pretty badly. Here’s a rundown:
All in all it was a pretty rotten day!
