So tomorrow
May 15, 2007 Blogging, The Story of My Life
I have a lunch meeting. I may carry a briefcase. (I have one, too, it’s a leather briefcase Brett got for me when I graduated from college.) I just printed out my very informal proposal. And I have a BUNCH of writing to do tomorrow (Julia).
I figured out my thiswomanswork.com email was stalled and if you wrote to that address in the last two weeks and didn’t hear from me it’s because I didn’t get it. Also a bunch of typepad feeds weren’t working or something and I’m only now figuring it out and resubscribing (again Julia).
Finally, I just bought a laptop dock-thingie to raise my laptop up so the monitor is at eye-level. Using Noah’s keyboard and mouse is helping, too. As has lowering my chair now that I can use the roll-out keyboard shelf on our desk. I think when I get the dock that it’ll make a HUGE difference and I really appreciate all of the input I got from my fellow ergonomically-challenged readers. Thank you!!
One more thing — I installed the similar posts plugin for the feeds and I also installed a plugin that lets me respond to comments via email and have the commented posted at the same time but I’m not sure if it’s working. Has anyone gotten a comment from emailed to them? It’s supposed to be that I can click on this wee icon (you can’t see it) next to the commenter’s name and my comment will go live but also email itself to the person I’m responding to provided they left a working email address. I’ve tried testing it on myself but maybe it doesn’t send if it’s going back to the administrator?
In any case, wordpress plug-ins are addictively fun. I really really love the similar posts one because I often forget what I’ve written and I love to read about the things the kids were doing way back when.

Which plugin is that please?
Also, please stop working so much so we can hang out. I see your husband more than I see you. He is a nice guy and all, but he is no Dawn.

The commenting plug-in is: comment email responder and it works with the subscribe to comments plug-in, too (do you have that one? I can’t remember).
I was unreasonably annoyed with Brett for seeing you guys last night. Maybe Friday we could playdate? Are you doing anything?

I’m so glad you wrote about this!!! I have been having all this neck pain and I couldn’t figure out why. I don’t have an official “dock” or anything but I stuck a couple books under the computer and viola! I’m not holding my neck at a funny angle.
you rock.
