Whining + a Reward for Listening

Are you curious why there haven’t been many posts yesterday and the day before? The answer is that WordPress is one of those concerns that just can’t leave well enough alone. They keep futzing with the system that used to work perfectly well. Every time they introduce some “improvement” that messes every thing up, the users have to protest for months to get the system back in working order.

The most recent “improvement” is that now, whenever I push the “New Post” button, I don’t see the familiar box for writing posts, like I always used to. Instead, I get redirected to some butt-ugly, bright-blue page that takes forever to load. When it finally loads, I have to press another button to get redirected back to the page where I can actually write my post. That also takes forever. The only reason why I can post as much as I do is that I come up with posts fast, write them fast, usually while I’m on the run from one place to another, and publish them fast. 

I am mystified by WordPress’s decision to make the process of posting a lot more time-consuming and cumbersome. Of course, they will can this idiotic initiative, just like they canned all the previous ones. That, however, will only happen after they aggravate every single one of their users to an extreme degree.

And now, to compensate for this bout of whining, here is a hilarious horoscope of me I received yesterday:

Curiosity is one of the reasons that an Aries Dragon will want to get to know someone. They tend to seek out others who are a bit different and modern in their opinions and thoughts like they are. These individuals love to chat and so any potential friends or partners should be prepared for hours of interesting discussion. An Aries Dragon sometimes uses a person’s responses to questions to judge whether they will be worth conversing with. This is rather pompous and doesn’t always bring good results but they still seem to automatically do it. Once you get to know them they will not mind you using the same tactics on them.

The Aries Dragon often falls in love very easily and may have several relationships before they find the right one. They will usually rush in with all their avidity and slightly overly trusting nature without their usual think ahead reasoning. When it comes to love and romance an Aries Dragon is a bit of a perfectionist and they have high expectations of a personal relationship. They cannot understand why others are more cautious and hold back their feelings initially. These people need partners that are demonstrative and will return the same amount of affection and openness.

When the Aries Dragon is angered or upset they may reveal the weakness in their personality of not taking kindly to the advice of others. If they are brooding these Aries are best left too it. They like to work out their own solutions to problems, in their own time and will rarely take recommendations from other people. If you try to offer guidance or suggestions they will usually be flatly ignored. Even if they know the advice is good they will still refuse to listen and have even been known to do the total opposite of what is suggested.

Here is more. The spelling at the linked site is atrocious but the analysis is super funny. You’ve got to agree this is me to a T.
