SNAFU

A 50-post collection

Unriddling the SNAFUs

Okay. I've had some errata happening with Steemit. And the queue function. And it seems like I have to have the queue page open so that it will post my blasts from the past.

Math has made it possible for me to deduce that the queue site's twelve noon is my 9PM. So if I want it to post at my twelve noon, I have to schedule stuff for 3AM.

And I'll be starting with the tales that got skipped in the SNAFU, tomorrow-ish by them.

Today, I am manually entering the Blasts via Steemit according to the extant schedule. The fix is going to take a while and then, with all good luck, normal services shall resume.

It's going to be a lot of back-tracking for me. And this is a cleaning day, so I have even less time than normal.

Mayhem is scheduled to start work on this coming Friday. I have to notify the school that this is happening so I don't get the angry text from the office. And since I'm going there anyway, I might as well find a parking spot and go chat in person.

And we need money, mascarpone, a fresh batch of Crack Slaw, more cream, and I'd really love for someone to take over the running around for me. That would be sweet.

The good news is that we managed to save Capt S from the slings and arrows of having to deal with life with just $5 left to her name. My emergency fund took a big hit, but that's what it's there for.

Budget update this coming Saturday.

The bad news is that I missed an opportunity to just... reset. Small beans, really, but my emotional stability is going to be on the rocky side of things for a little while. I'll probably end up bogarting some form of sweet treat more than I should.

If you want to help, you can. For as little as a dollar a month, you can have access to loads of my unfinished works, works in progress, and peeks into the way my brain farts. You can see art in progress, listen to some musical compositions, and even read entire novels before they hit the presses. All you have to do is sign up as a Patron and choose your best level of sponsorship. Even a dollar is welcome!

Fun times ahead

I've been trying to transfer my music files into #myphonebygoogle, with varying degrees of success. Our current, dropbox model has hit a snag, in that the phone must be active in order to download.

Google Pixel has a maximum activation period of half an hour. There is no 'never' option and no assumption that a user is clever enough to hook the phone up to a power source whilst that shit is going on.

I mean, come on, google. We were smart

I am frustrate

On the continuing saga of New Phone Wat Dis(aka #myphonebygoogle), I have finally combatted the hassle of getting my music data onto my actual phone. The caveat being that the file manager in question will also play random shit that's content for games. We'll work around that when the time comes.

And speaking of workarounds... I did some 3D drafting for Bitzer's new hip handle, this morning. And once done, it should have been an easy matter to transfer those files

Snafu^3

My best laid plans haven't just gone agley. They're flapping in the breeze. Pissing into the wind. Whistling Dixie.

Inertia is my enemy. I fucking hate it. And I really despise it when the object at rest happens to be people I need to do things for my. My skill set is limited. My ideas of design are either (a) antiquated, (b) fucking ugly, or (c) both. This is why I handed a concept sketch to Beloved for the EGDB logo instead

SNAFU

My plans have, once again, gang aft agley. The bronze pins are too thick for some of my seed beads, so unless I want to slow down and find the wide-bore ones, I'm going to have to make my own from the wire I have. Turns out the holes are too small for any kind of pin.

Good news: I don't have to go trawling for findings again.
Bad news: A majority of my time, today, is going to be spent on
