I Meant to Do My Work Yesterday
This post’s title is adapted from the title of a poem by Richard Le Gallienne, which is completely charming and about stopping to look around. I’ve loved it since I first read it.
Would that my excuse was so nice. But, as usual, I procrastinated, and then got left with too many steps and too little time.
My PLAN was to put together the back end for delivering the ebooks. I had picked out a download service, knew it was supported and was ready to go. But to work with PayPal I had to be verified.
No problem, I’ll do that. But to confirm the verification will take 2-3 business days.
OK, go to Plan B, manually send people books for a day or two, then switch to downloading.
No can do. It turns out that if I do that, I will have to build everything, then delete everything, rebuild it the right way, test it. and then make it live.
So I think I’ll trust things happen quickly and bring the ebooks out a day or so late.
Now it’s on to the other three critical things which have deadlines tomorrow. At least one of them is somewhat fast, one is something I’ve researched in the past and the last one been occupying many brain cycles this past week.
But I sure would like fewer complications, maybe I’ll go stitch some.
