i hate technology
well, maybe not all technology. but all forms of technology that involve the internet and pictures.
so you know that i couldn't put up a photo-journal. and that i can't get the photos in the right order on webshots (that is the internet's fault, not mine. actually, both are the internet's fault, not mine.) as is this latest fiasco.
it is now 3am. i was going to bed at about 12:30. but then i decided to make a shutterfly photo album. my plan is to continue to get up to speed on law school and then keep it updated and then i will have a lovely photo album of these 3 years. i was going to print the pictures and do it the old-fashioned way, but for various reasons, i decided not to. (trust me, you don't even want me to go into the whole explanation and thought process on this.) but molly's sister alerted me to the fact that you can make them online.
ONLY YOU CANNOT! BECAUSE THE INTERNET IS HORRIBLE AND IT KEEPS DELETING THE ALBUM, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SAVE IT AND THEN WHEN YOU CLOSE THE WINDOW AND SIGN BACK INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, THE ALBUM THAT YOU HAD UPDATED IS ALL GONE AND YOU ARE BACK TO THE FIRST ONE THAT YOU HAVE NOW DELETED 3 TIMES! and so i just keep making the same album over and over. and losing it. thru no fault of mine. i am sure of it. so now i have wasted 2.5 hours doing this and i am nowhere and my eyes are burning.
the really frustrating thing about all of these projects is that i know it could be so simple, and it isn't that i'm totally computer illiterate, but i think that if i cannot use these things then they are not very user-friendly, or is it really that i am a moron and anyone else would have their album updated thru the summer already? (i have any number of problems with the user-friendliness of the system, in addition to the whole thing where it keeps losing the album. you don't want to know all this thought process either.) and i also wonder if other people think these things should work in the way that i think they should work and they could be so easy. or if the systems were like i wanted them to be, would millions of other people be writing in to ask why the hell the system moves the photos when you try to move them and puts the pictures in that order and then saves the changes when you click the "save" button. i mean, that seems hard to believe, but maybe so.
grrrrrr.
oh, but lest i only complain, i have had a great couple of days as people are returning and back in town and i have people to catch up with and enjoy their company. and tomorrow i am going to start also being productive and crossing all those things off my to-do list. at 9am. which is why i am going to regret that i am still awake, being vexed by the computer.
VEXED I TELL YOU! FEEL MY WRATH, DEMONS OF SHUTTERFLY!
