The Real Jenty

What a disaster! Well, not quite… it’s not that bad, but I’m still not happy.

I finally finished doing Connor’s party invitations.  I really struggled to find triceratops pictures for it, this was the nicest I could find.  But I didn’t really look at the photo properly until I sent the invites out just now.

It’s violent man!! The triceratops are attacked a maiasaura and it’s nest!!  The mothers better not look too closely!

oh em gee… And to top it off, Angel just sent me an email to tell me that I spelt my street address wrong too!! Damnit!  I didn’t save the psd file for some unknown reason, so I’m going to have to start from scratch before I send it to his school friends.

Aaarrrggghhh!! What a fab end to a fab day!

I’m so, so very frustrated with trying to set up Google Apps!!

I’ve been trying to set up email for my photography to go to a jeanetteverster.com address so I can move off my generic gmail account, but it seems that I’m destined not to get it right.

There is NO way to get hold of someone at Google to help me!!

Here are the facts:

1.  I’ve never set up Google Apps for my domain before, yet the damn system seems to think I have.  It seems to have someone else’s email address listed as the administator of the domain, and I have no way of figuring out who it’s going to!!

2.  I’ve followed every single step to prove that I’m the administrator of the domain, and I’m happy that Google can now see the CNAME record.

3.  I get to the last stage where I have to confirm the change.  Google sends me a daft email saying I must now follow the steps on the original mail I got when I set up Google Apps.  HELLO PEOPLE, what part of I NEED TO PROVE I OWN THE FRICKING DOMAIN DON’T YOU GET!!!

4.  I then select the option for Google to resend the email… and then the process disappears in to the ether!! I can only assume it’s sending the email to my mystery email address!! I’m so fricking annoyed it’s not even funny.

Then to try and contact Google for help is virtually impossible! I cannot find a way to get someone to help me!

I’d like to know who is receiving my emails? I’d like to know how to fix this? It’s MY site!!

By the time I got home tonight, I was so freaking annoyed!!

I flew to Durban for the day, and I stupidly wore wide lgged pants with a turn-up at the bottom, and high heels.  Do you know how many times I freaking tripped?  My heel kept hooking in the turn-up.  Now when you’re looking and feeling like a pack horse with handbag, camera bag, tripod and laptop bag… that’s not a good thing!

In fact, I even fell and sent my camera kit sprawling across the slate tiles..  thankfully only a handful of people saw it… but damn my knees are sore!! I’ve seriously bruised them and my ego!

I feel like actually chucking those pants in the bin actually!!  Arrrgggghhh!

Just been on the phone with a blogger in CT, and she agrees with me… I’m going to have to reinstall my photoblog to fix it

I’m really not a happy bunny now.  Since I did the WP2.8 upgrade it’s not been playing nicely with me… everywhere that I had a plugin now has a problem.

AAARRRGGHHHH!!! I might actually have to redo the entire bloody thing at this rate to sort it out.  And I don’t have the energy for it right now.  Think I’m going to rather have some milo and a bath and go to bed and worry about it tomorrow.

I’m not in a good space at the moment.

Connor’s tantrums are getting me down.  I can’t handle them, and I think they’re only getting worse because I’m spending less time at home.

No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get out of the house before 7:30am. I get up at 5:30 for crying out aloud!!  This morning I actually nearly left Connor at home because he wouldn’t get dressed – he only got dressed when I walked out the house and packed the car   He’s driving me NUTS!

And don’t dare say I must get up earlier… I’m only getting to sleep after 11pm because of my photo editing at the moment.  Partly because flucking stupid PS won’t convert my photos from RAW to JPG at 300 dpi no matter what I do, so I’ve had to redo ALL the photos I’ve taken lately!!!  It’s converting them at 240dpi which isn’t high enough for printing and enlarging.

And this office astounds me!! I can’t believe the clock watching that happens in that corner of the office… it happens nowhere else in the building.  It’s seriously frowned upon to leave before 5pm (apart from the select few who seem to be able to pick and choose when they want to be in the office without any problem).  As a result… I’m only getting home close to 7pm!!  And then I have to cook and get the kids to bed!

It’s MAD! I’m not actually sure how much more of this I can handle.  I love what I do, but this traffic and time crap is seriously not worth it at the moment.
