Hi guys. Sorry I haven’t been around in awhile. I’ve been in hell. Server hell. The servers on Evil Beet (and SIAM, and Zelda Lily) have been crashing left and right, and the host, Choopa, is trying to convince me that it is somehow my fault. Even funnier? Right now, their sites are down. Choopa.com is down. But they’re still running this racket that it’s something I am doing wrong. Unreal. I’m changing hosting companies. I’ve been with them since the start. I like to be loyal. But this has gotten out of control. It happens every three months or so, and then it consumes my life until it “magically” gets resolved, and no one tells me what, exactly, I did wrong (because, you know, I didn’t do anything wrong). I do not have time in my life for this shit right now.
Also, I hurt my toe. You can see my sad toe in this picture.
I took sad toe to the gym, because I have just been in a stress-induced panic mode the past couple weeks (much to the credit of the new medicine, it has not launched into a full-blown manic episode — I ::heart:: the new medicine), and I knew if I kicked my own ass for an hour I would feel much steadier emotionally. And I did. But sad toe left the gym in way worse shape than it entered. (”If it wasn’t broke when I walked in here, it is now,” I told the trainer.) But I was pretty calm and centered for like an hour afterward, until all my websites crashed again and I had to spend four hours begging Choopa to fix it and getting responses like “Loads fine for me” and “Is it better now?” despite the fact that all my messages to them were like, “Can someone please explain to me, in detail, what exactly is wrong here? Do I need to hire someone to come in to fix this? I am losing a lot of money in ad sales right now. This is important. What do I have to do to get this problem addressed?” The response? “Is the site loading okay now?”
UN FUCKING REAL.
IT’S NOT LIKE I HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO, GUYS. THIS IS AWESOME, THIS EMAILING IN CIRCLES WITH YOU AND THE NOT FIXING OF THE PROBLEM. I WOULD EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO CALL IT DELIGHTFUL. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING SATURDAY? CAN WE DO THIS AGAIN THEN? OKAY I WILL PUT IT ON MY CALENDAR. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
