My laptop is in the shop (unexpectedly), so I am forced to sit in the sun and drink tea. Sigh. 😎 #AmNotEditing

Slightly depressing to spend *hours* updating a P11 form (the "standard" UN CV except many orgs require a variation) knowing it's unlikely I'll get the project* 🙄 Anyway, it's submitted! #FreelancerLife #AmNotEditing #edibuddies

It's that kind of morning: my phone's stuck on a work profile policies update, my laptop is stuck uninstalling an app, and my desktop mouse is out of batteries. 🙄
I've restarted the devices, got my backup mouse, and am recharging the batteries. Let's see how it goes. #AmNotEditing #edibuddies

An enthusiastic new director of our kids' school told parents to contact the school at a new email account called parentliason@.org 🤦♀️ (And I have no idea how it's different from the existing and easy-to-understand parentrelations@.org) #AmNotEditing

Spent the last 1 hour troubleshooting Word - some keyboard shortcuts (involving J, N, and the up/down arrows) stopped working. Finally identified a link with a PerfectIt update 😭 Contacted the PerfectIt people; am hoping they can resolve it! (Any #Edibuddies experienced this?) #AmNotEditing

Watched a local LLM get stuck in a literal loop because I told it to use British spelling but with "z" for words like "organization" (see Oxford English Dictionaries) and it couldn't figure out how those two instructions could be true at the same time 🤦♀️ #Edibuddies #AmNotEditing

Lol. What an ad. “Never worry about version control—but never have any control over the version, either!”
I know not everyone using it is an editor, but *as* an editor this highlights just one of the many reasons I loathe using GoogleDocs.
