yesterday was obviously monday.

You know, as irritating as the ongoing LJ technical kablooie is, it would bother me a lot less if somewhere -- ANYWHERE -- the LJ team would post a quick explanation of what's going on and when we might expect it to be fixed. Like on the LJ news or announcements comm, for example. Or at status.livejournal.org, which is incredibly vague and hasn't been updated in nearly 24 hours. Look, I get that sometimes things just go kablooie, and they aren't quickly or easily repaired. I don't even need a definitive ETA. But some kind of regular update saying look, this is the situation, we're not sure how long it will take, we've restored features XYZ but ABCDEF are unavailable until further notice -- I'm just saying, it would be appreciated. A page that I can refresh that will actually tell me when things are functional again. Which, hey, the status page might, but with the whole hasn't-been-updated-in-nearly-24-hours thing, I really have no reason to trust it right now. UGH.

In other technical difficulties, yesterday was my one evening off. (I work two jobs. I don't get full days off. On Mondays I only work a 6-hour day -- that's my "day off".) So I decided to treat myself to a movie, since I still haven't seen the last Harry Potter, or Captain America. I got off work, I headed out to the mall a mile-ish away from my apartment, checked the showtimes, killed time for about an hour before the movie -- and then learned that the A/C in the movie theater was broken. My fondness for Harry Potter is not such that I'm willing to sit in a muggy 95F theater for 2+ hours, sorry, NO. And that was my last "day off" for two weeks. ARGH.

So I went home and wrote 3k more words of the kinkmeme fill that I can't post because LJ is kablooie. And of course, this was the scene I have been looking forward to the whole time -- like, this was the first image that came into my head, around which the entire 35k-words-and-still-going-strong fic is based. And I can't fucking post it. In the scheme of life, the universe, and everything, this is a terribly petty thing to get hung up on, I know, but still. FRUSTRATED.
