Holy cow!

I actually found something that caused me to waste more time than My Space today.

Experience the wonder of Go Fug Yourself!

(Ok, Grace, let’s see you get that one.)

Because there cannot possibly anything such as too busy, Steve has gotten sick right as the stationary for our invites arrived and as it edges closer to crunch time for having the garage unpackaged and the rest of the stuff moved in. The poor boy is like the living dead.

I haven’t touched eBay in months which is annoying (as much as I complain, I really enjoy doing eBay) partly because I have nowhere to put the stuff and the shelves that Steve was building me were put on hold when sickness struck.

I am going to play with the printer tonight and if I can get the invites to print nicely, maybe some nice peoples can come over this weekend and we can have a wine and glue dots party and put them together.

The added complication is that I just started a new position at work which, while very good for me in the long run, myself and another new person started in this position just as the two people who used to work in this position left (one for another job, the other for grad school). So, essentially, I have the most seniority in the job though I have been doing this for about 2 weeks so if I am not sure about something, there really isn’t anyone to ask. I really want to do a good job and have them not need to hire a 3rd person as they said they might do, but it all comes at a time when I need to do Hillary stuff more than ever.

Ah, well. Keeps life interesting, right?

I am working happily today online when suddenly chat explodes. Now, technically, I don’t work in chat anymore but since it was insanely busy all of a sudden, I jumped in.

I probably went through about 20 chats total in the 2 hours I spent helping but I spent exactly 1 hour and 37 minutes trying to help this one man checkout. Every time either of us clicked anything, we were given the site is broken screen and the process took forever. (May I add that this man was neither patient, understanding, or very bright). The entire time, I am thinking "what the heck is going on with the site?"

I check my email to see if I missed some crazy bug and there is an email that just says, "We are getting record traffic today, no idea why, site may not work."

So I continue the crazy chat fest for a while and then my shift is over so I got do other things. Upon returning to check my email tonight, I have an email explaining that, apparently, Lance Bass’s lover (who is mentioned today in his coming out statement) has published a calendar on Lulu. (You may want to wash your eyes after looking.)

Anyway, while he did not actually sell more than a single calendar today, this was a Lulu record for the most number of hits to a single page in one day and basically crippled the site.

What former boy bander can I hook up with to get traffic like that?
