At the risk of borking my browser again (I don’t exactly have the best of computers) I am going to publish a novella here.
Cross your fingers.
Oyeah. RTFM stands for the techie-favourite acronym: Read The F[laming/expletive deleted] Manual. Also the most common advice to noobs encountering new technology.

It ends in a weird place, but if I re-wrote it, it would inevitably turn into a novella and I would loose the short-story twist and fridge horror of it all.
Have at me… but gently. Tell

Pros, cons and musings below the cut.

I consider myself a writer - but I have finished little and published nothing.
I am a Mum - yet, or perhaps because of that, everything I do is wrong.
I have a degree in Information Technology - and I am unemployable.
