Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Portrait Of A Frustrated Librarian

It was one of those days yesterday. The kind of day where I wanted to bitch slap about 50 people. Then I came home and took it out on The Boyfriend.

Amazingly enough, he was still talking to me this morning. I knew I fell in love with him for a reason.

So yeah, everybody needs to do me a favor and not start any Blog Drama for at least the next week - cuz I'll probably end up wading into the fray screeching, "WTF?! *$&^!@$#!!!! Your a bloody bleeping moron!!!"

On a good day I'm not eloquent. On a bad day I revert back to my natural banshee state.

You know what I need? A vacation. Or liquor. Yeah, definitely liquor.

On the bright side: I got this in the mail yesterday. So happy. Now I just need to kick my butt back into gear and get reading. Thanks Karen! And thanks Sybil for giving Karen my addy! I still need liquor, but this definitely helps.

Oh, my gosh, Wendy!! Where did you get that cartoon??? Yikes! I'm going to remember that when I'm having a bad day and get up slowly and back away from the computer....

Was it patrons giving you a hard time? I find reading the following website helps -

Cause then you know you're not alone.

Margaret: LOL - that cartoon is an oldie but a goodie. I've seen it on quite a few author sites/blogs when the author is wrestling with their current WIP ;-)

Jami: No, not patrons. In the grand scheme of things what was annoying me was really very minor, but it was one of those days where everything seemed to be rubbing me the wrong way.

I just had to comment on that cartoon - it's absolutely perfect. I know that feeling so well some days.

Good to know I'm not the only one with a 'natural banshee state', LOL.

You know what you need? A good audiobook, like, say...Twilight... (yes, I pimped this book in a comment the other day, but really, it's so, so good) And it will tune out the people who are irritating you - keep the earphones in and nod like you hear them while they blather on.

And that animation? Makes me cringe each time *shudder*

Big Sis said...

Love the cartoon. Looks like me writing a letter to the editor!! GRIN ; )

Rosie said...

Thanks for the new brakes, and uh...if you feel like this when you're driving let's pull over get you a beverage and I'll drive. K?

Lori said...

I relate to your day. Sorry :( And our men are great, aren't they? We can bitch them out, and they still love us. Thank goodness!

And I have since swiped that cartoon fo rmy own use. I'm loving it!
