A Typical Series of Computer Interactions on My Google+ Posts


POST ONE There! Got everything switched over to my maiden name, RIDLON. Linkedin, facebook, twitter, my blog, MY BOOK!!! 
POST TWO Hooooly SHIT!! I’ve been fucking around with changing everything to my maiden name and now my blog is gone. Gone-gone!! WTF!! How the shit do I get it back????? DAMN! 
POST THREE I have no blog address anymore. Mother- 
POST FOUR Really? Really? This fucking computer is BEGGING to be lit afire. Stupid blog!
POST FIVE Ok. Google+ is nice. They are good and true. They have changed all that I have asked. HOO-raaah. Not so with blogger. Blogger is vile and evil and doesn’t listen. At all. My book cover WAS CHANGED last night!! I looked on Amazon and there it was—all changes had taken effect. Now it just reverted. It just fucking reverted. On its own. GodDAMN I hate computers. . . 
POST SIX Ok. Ok. I have re-published my book TWICE in the last week. TWICE it took the changes and then reverted back. Got ahold of the Blogspot minions and they gave the sage advice of trying to republish it. Really? Yes, I think I will. Re-publishing my book will be a new hobby. I’ll drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, and spend my days re-publishing my book. Every morning. Into eternity. THEN every night the blogger minions can sneak in and change it back for no apparent reason. Sounds like FUN. I’m gonna go get my coffee and smokes right this minute. 
POST SEVEN My blog address refuses to change, too. URL. Whatever the fuck. It lies to me. It says yes. “Yes, michelle, we heard you. We are changing you over right this second. No, wait. Maybe not. Try it again. I’ll do it this time for sure. PLEEEASE Charlie Brown?? Kick that football again—THIS time it’ll go.” My hatred for disobedient computers is goddamn near pathological. Now the blogger mechanics can kiss my ass too. CHANGE MY URL ADDRESS, GODDAMNIT! Stupid blog. 
POST EIGHT Breathe. . .breathe. . .easy in. . .breathe. . .easy out. . .breathe. Nope. Still wanna make this computer into a fucking toaster. All the breathing will just fan the flames and make the fire bigger. Good. Son of a bitch. Stupid blogger. 
POST NINE Now it’s going to take the Amazon mechanics at Kindle a couple years to get back to me on why the changes won’t stick. If they tell me to re-publish and I get their address? Yeah. I’m going to fucking prison.  
POST TEN Going to prison for sure. Some 12 year old from the customer service just emailed me saying he’ll “look into it” and get back to me on TUESDAY!!! (March 31) WHAT????? I’m being featured in the april/may edition of a women’s magazine to promote my book. THE NAMES DON’T MATCH, GODDAMNIT!! I’ll be RIDLON in the magazine and MATTILA in the bookstore. And I started writing these hacks to help me at the beginning of the week. I’m going to stroke right the fuck out. I know it. 
POST ELEVEN Technically, I think Bailey’s is a coffee creamer. I’m pretty sure of it. I’m going to get some goddamn cream. Stupid blogger.
