So many pet peeves. I am sick of email. It seems all people want to do is send email. Why can’t you just pick up the phone and call me? Trust me, it’s easier. And I am also ticked off because I got stood up today. The guy emailed me, “We still on? You never confirmed.” Confirmed? How about I never cancelled! Why do I need to confirm when you WATCHED ME ENTER IT INTO MY CALENDAR?

And a client left me a VM yesterday morning (Monday), “I called you Friday evening and I STILL haven’t heard back from you! This is why I fired my last Web designer!”

I am also angry at WordPress because I can’t find any good Business Directory plugins. I have spent a crapload of money on some pretty crappy plugins and themes that look perfect until I install them. There must be a way to get an online directory installed — whether inside of WordPress or outside of it.

Oh, and a client says, “Can you install a countdown on my Website, I want there to be a countdown to election day.” EASY PEASY, right? Wrong! I think it’s going to take me 5 minutes to find a countdown plugin, install it and set it up as a widget on the sidebar. NOPE! I went through 5 different countdown plugins. The first one forced me to accept their text and all they provided was “# days until my BIRTHDAY!” Deleted that. The next three didn’t work. Finally I find one that works… 45 minutes later!

I am tired. I am sun-deprived. I am not as productive as I should be.

In better news, the proof of my book has been shipped and is in transit to me. I can’t wait to see it looking like a book and not like a stack of 8x11s. My hope is that it will be perfect and not require any changes. I want this part of the process over!

I think I am hungry and that’s why I feel so crabby.
