Yesterday, we had quite a few people in the shop and I spent a lot of the day in the front of the shop talking rather than working. Today was the opposite and I spent most of the time sitting in the back room typing a seemingly endless list of coins into eBay.
These aren’t just ordinary coins, these are tedious modern coins mounted on First Day Covers commemorating things like the Queen Mother’s birthday, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and a Royal Visit to the Isle of Man. They are badly made, dull, uninspired and bring out the worst in me.
I’m generally in favour of tradition and resistant to change. However, after a couple of hours of this I’m prepared to put the entire Royal Family up against a wall and shoot them (normally I only feel like this about Prince Andrew and Fergie and their unpleasant offspring). A couple of hours later I’m also prepared to undermine the entire capitalist system which makes the successful marketing of such trash possible.
Just a short post for now, though the new editor seems to lack the capacity to count my words. I’m off to polish my hammer and sickle and raise a red flag.
Meanwhile I still haven’t worked out the benefits of the new editor, in any, compared to the old one. I may well go back to the old one.
I bet it gets very, very tedious.
Yes, and after another day I’m in an even worse state. 🙂
Oh, gosh!
Worse things happen at sea, as they say.
I have never heard that saying, but it’s a good one.
🙂 No coins today!
Those portraits are so dire
Yes – clearly recruited from the lower end of the talent spectrum.
I am not going to use the new editor until I am sure that it works properly. WP changes are generally disastrous!
I’m thinking of going back to the old one. I don’t like the mobilr box thing that follows me around and I can’t load photos properly.
Their upgrades never work properly, I still use a version from two times ago, it is so much easier.
I’m trying to learn more technical stuff, but I tend to agree that most “improvements” aren’t what they promise.
Hmmm… Calm down. Remember the new you… 🙂
Grrr… Just as I was getting the hang of being calm. 🙂
Maybe some breathing exercises would help. 🙂
Or chocolate. I’m a great believer in chocolate, but I’m trying to stay off that too. I should never have stopped smoking. I was much calmer and thinner. 🙂
I was afraid to try the new editor. I thought I’d cope with it once I had to.
I’m thinking of reverting to the old one. Can’t seem to work out how to post photos…
I figure that’s in store for me…though you can tell them that and they might fix it. They’re asking for comments.
I’m cynical about big organisations and updates. 🙂
Having looked at the teaser fro the new editor, I doubt that it was designed for me or you.
A three-eyed octopus might do alright but I’m thinking of going back to the old one. I am having trouble posting photos.
I have just got used to the last update so I am not anxious to change again.
Yes – too many changes. I’m always suspicious that they are for the benefit of the organisation, rather than for me.
