Your opening part made me laugh as I'm often the Over-the-Phone Tech Support for my mom when she touches something on the computer and it goes all ka-flooey. I used to work as a software tester for an educational software company, so I'm usually aware of what I did JUST BEFORE something didn't go as expected--it was my job to break stuff, after all! You'll get the hang of it.<br />Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-28898409177958674582014-01-18T07:40:58.151-05:002014-01-18T07:40:58.151-05:00Thanks for the encouragement, Madeline.

But my publisher keeps encouraging me to try to get my book "out there," and using anonymous social media is easier for me than actually having face-to-face meetings...<br /><br />But sometimes, I think about dropping off the grid completely, I really do.Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-27180144897252960662014-01-17T10:40:26.167-05:002014-01-17T10:40:26.167-05:00I hear you.

I did the exact same thing on Craigslist the other day....I "flagged" quite a few listings, thinking I was bookmarking them, until I realized what the flag button is actually for. Oops! Don't feel too bad, I think we've all done things like this more than we admit!Kate Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960902615430592468noreply@blogger.com
