In the text box, the little square icon just before the left and right arrows (undo and redo) on the far right is the Draft icon (just past the money bag). It looks like a little floppy disc. You can use it to either save your progress (which also happens automatically) or to delete the draft. If you don't delete it and then come back later (even days or weeks later I think) and make a post, whatever you had saved will show up at the top of it. Or the bottom, I forget which.
I'll try that. I've just been deleting it the way I do on other forums, but dis heah place is speshul.
I left one thing out—you first need to delete the post itself, by selecting all and hitting the backspace key. THEN you clik the icon and tell it to delete the draft.
A court reporter was working in real RealTime where her transcripts of court proceedings appeared on a screen above the judge's bench as she keyed them in. What the transcript was supposed to say: Court will reconvene after the judge's afternoon session. What the transcript actually said: Court will reconvene after the judge's afternoon sex. She nearly died of chagrin at the time, but that story has contributed significantly to the amount of laughter in the world.
A while back i had a boss who when writing to a continual complainant meant to write "Dear Mr Brown, it is entirely untrue to say we don't care about your issues" what he wrote was "Dear Mr Brown, it is entirely true to say we don't care about your issues"
Tmw: You're taking notes during a webinar and tried to abbreviate "library users" and you immediately write "Lusers" on your paper..... I think this job is getting to me
The moment you realize you have been making out checks for tax payments to the infernal revenue service for so long, they now ask you make the checks out to the US Treasury Department.
TMW you're excited about reaching 55,000 words on your WIP but then delete some notes and it goes back to 54,893.
That moment when I'm grateful I got tipsy at my friend's house because he lives in the middle of nowhere and I almost sent some risky texts. Now I'm not tipsy, and the urge to send texts has diminished. Also I don't drink often at all, so my tolerance has become almost nothing and I was very happy after two glasses of wine. I'm cheap.
Maybe this should go in "What new word did you learn today." but I've known it for some time. Parallelity. adj. The degree to which a straight line feature on a solid object is parallel to another, or to a datum plane or line.
TMW you realize your wallet and all your credit cards and ID are missing, and you're just getting ready to leave on an out-of-town trip so you really need that stuff, and all your hard work trying to find serenity goes up like a hydrogen balloon, and you retrace all your steps and search every possible pocket and you keep saying, "please" and you keep promising to be a better person and do better things if only it turns up, and then the wallet turns up underneath your favorite reading chair, and you say thank you, but start looking for fine print in all your promises. That moment.
TMW I made a complete, fucking ass of myself on Facebook and pissed off a lot of people -- and what's worse is that it was due to what I thought was a lighthearted 'cheer up' quote over what's happening in the US Supreme Court right now. Now I'm deeply ashamed. I apologized but... fuck! I know better than this! Ugh!!
Hey, it happens: open mouth change feet. You apologized, you regret it, and once you get over the ignominy, you can join the club with most of the rest of humanity.
