Why did no one tell me I could schedule posts to show up later? For fucks sake people, I thrive on the efficiency! Drop these little nuggets of awesome on me next, alright?
Sorry, it’s chaotic and crazy and some other unpleasant words that start with C but I can’t be bothered to think of right now.
The presentation is DONE. I ran it by K, who had minor suggestions, and has since put her seal of approval on it. I’m just waiting to find out how the distribution of handouts is being handled. Oh, and I need to load everything to my personal site and finish spiffing that before the symposium, considering I’m publishing the site address on my handouts.
I got the last bits of “group garbage” for class done this morning, now I just need to do the individual bits. Which is how I should have been spending the last hour or so, but it was way more fun getting ready for Twindaddy’s 25 Songs challenge. I’ve got the first 11 written and queued up. YAY ME! I figure I really need to stay totally ahead of this given that the presentation is May 15, I teach two classes on May 16, and my summer class starts on May 19.
For being so highly educated, I am one dumb fucker.

You seriously didn’t know you could schedule posts!??

Nope, I seriously did not. I had read where other people had mentioned doing it, but no one had ever gone into detail and I’d never had a reason to need it until now.
But let me tell you, my ass is real fucking good at it at this point. I’ve got 24 of the 25 posts done. And given that you know me on the FB, I’ll just bet you know which one I’m missing.

I’m not surprised. It’s a weird semantic difference that’s probably only relevant in my head.

LOL, it’s alright. Like I was telling Twindaddy, I’ve never had a need to schedule posts until now. And I’m not so sure I’ll have much of a need in the future, but for this challenge it’s going to work out real swell.

Somehow I think you’ll find other uses for it, too. 😀

I never really use the scheduled posting because on my wordpress dash the time to post comes up in military time and i tried to change the time formatting countless times. I have just given up on and buried the knowledge of schedule posting in the back of my memory.

The military time thing doesn’t phase me, mostly because we have a few systems here at work that run on it and I had no choice but to get used to it. I’m still not sure I’d really use this for anything else, but it sure is coming in handy for this challenge!

Don’t feel bad, I never knew you could schedule posts either until I just read this. Of course, I rarely write posts up in advance anyway, so it’s a useless feature for me….

Thanks, ES – it’s nice to know I wasn’t the only one. I don’t know if I’ll use it again except for something like this, but I always find it helpful to know what my options are.
