If you give a girl an A record

If you give a girl an A record to update, she will be so begrudging at first.

She’ll put it off, and ignore you with deadlines looming. 

It won’t be until she in under the threat of losing all her blog traffic and precious comments that she will do it.

She will log into her webhost’s site, but not remember the records number so of course she has to search through her inbox to find it. It will only take a few moments, she promises!

If you give a girl a few moments to search through her inbox, she’ll realize what a mess it has become! There is no reason for anyone to have 1057 messags in their inbox!

So she will let you know she just has to update her filter settings. Once she opens gmails settings though, she’ll realize she needs to update her labs settings too; and might as well change her inbox theme because trees were so last week, and if she has the settings open she will absolutly want to look at the time displays.

This settings game will go on for quite awhile if you let it. You’ll have to keep her focused and get her back on track with searching for the email from Posterous so she can update her A-records.

The girl promises, she will do just that, but didn’t you know! Google+ settings are now integrated with Gmails. She never did have enough time to get her G+ profile correctly set, and she wants to connect her other accounts so she might as well do it now. If you would just give her the login for her LinkedIn account.

If you give a girl her login for her LinkedIN account, you can be assured the A records aren’t getting updated today. You see, as soon as she logins she will relize that a post with pictures of her and a jet ski incident are now on her PROFESSIONAL profile. It just won’t do! 

So she will log into her Posterous account to remove LinkedIn from her personal blog, which will then begin a heated and repeated internal debate about the value of having one universal blog to which she can post everything, and having many segregated and topic oriented blogs. This debate will rage for awhile as it will be fueled by marshmellows which she found in the cupboard while trying to distract herself from making any real decisions.

So the lesson here is; if you have an A record to update find a boy to do it!

Welcome to my afternoon.

Continuing the adventure,
