Didn't write ONE word on Friday as the electricity as well as the water cables were rewired in our apartment block. When the electricity came back, my husband thought it would be time to sort out our gateway machine (the one with direct internet access and router to our little homenetwork over here) and put XP on it. BAAAAAAAAAD CHOICE. *Sigh* Why can't men just abide to one simple rule? Never change a running system

The woes of an archivist
Aug. 23rd, 2003 06:17 pmSometimes I really ask myself if I wasn't better off just being a writer. I mean as a writer I just have to worry about my plot and characters, and have others post my fiction and I can also bugger them to post my stories to boot. Oh what a wonderful life it would be ... but no - through some delusion of grandeur *snicker* I had to be an archivist as well. *sigh*
Stupid of me. Why?
Here is just one example of an email I received today (that was number 11 I got in the course of one week):
I had a story that I sent in over a week ago and it still hasn't been posted, even though you've updated several times. It's title was XXX XXX XXX. If you do not allow no [that should probably read as new] submissions and still work off old ones you should have said so on your web site. If you can handle the submissions let someone else take over your site.
Ahhhhh... wonderful, thank you, bad Una for not keeping her readers and writers happy ... and being clairvoyant enough to know ALL the stories on the site by name.
What they don't do is READ! Nedra is handling the new submissions and ever since the blackout in NYC I haven't heard of her. *Sigh* ... okay, now I go look for a puppy to kick .. or an archivist ...
