It's known to too many men for some bloody reason, that ALL women can multi-task, an old fashioned example is cooking whilst cleaning, breastfeeding children whilst shopping, making a sandwich whilst making love, blah blah.
So be it, if it is true (certainly not in my case), women should be more able to balance 2 or 3 tasks easy by switching over in almost a militaria fashion; quick to the point and efficiently.
Well I'm not implying the model impression from the US or UK army, but leaning toward the Korean Army disciplinary, because we know how long it takes for those troopers to get on with the job (they're still some in Iraq and helluva lot more in Afghanistan, thanks Mr. Obama, you chump).
So I couldn't believe my luck yesterday when I was using Blogger and Facebook at the same time. I was trying to be a hero, saving the internet world for a little more memory space.
It doesn't sound like a big deal, but when you're commenting and writing on both sites, it's a NORMAL thing that both sexes are capable of accomplishing without deleting their necessary entries.
So here I was around the same time yesterday (13:37pm the trusty PC tells me) stalking the news feed unconsciously and typing up my 'Driving is Hard; Dying is Easier' entry, when I suddenly decided I'd like to change a couple of my settings, see what's new in the design box, see what tickles my pretty fancy.
We all know Blogger likes to save all our drafts so that we can come back to them, right? Well I thought I had written too many drafts as I had only 4 blog entries and now there were 6.
I'm a softie cleaner; you should see me sweep the junk-o-spam from my Hotmail account like it was termites. I don't think twice when I rid my email space of the crap, who does? We all know it's unbelievably stanky BS so why keep it lingering in there for you to log in and see you've got 13,567 emails from either Facebook updates (why send me a message about who said who about what? I'm ALWAYS ON THERE Jheez..) or junk mail from really ridiculous claimers like RealFake Brands or WeightWatchers for Men?
I cleaned my Blogger out, and not by purpose. It was a choice, but it was made recklessly. My entries about my adventures at Harry Potter Land (Eggham), the floods in Pakistan, and how it was my first time as a Blogger virgin, it was all gone.
But I always thought the Internet was the safe place to backup your files if your computer decided to do one when it couldn't handle your junkmail abuse any longer and decided to let a trojan horse in, as it were feeling suicidal...
I wasn't wrong, but as someone who always backs up on USB sticks and on external HDDs, I can tell you I was pissed not to do it this one time.
But all the same, it gives me the great misery to post my life's tragedies up here, it's considered 'entertaining' for some sick individuals. It's a fresh start, a bad one at most, but hey, life goes on right? . . .Don't answer that.
