Table of Contents >> Literal Translations

If I go there, it still says:

“This is a collection of all entries that have won contests, broken into categories. These posts will eventually be compiled into a paper publication. Demand will shorten the wait, so if you want a copy, order one!”

However what is underneath no longer appears to be “a collection of all entries that have won contests, broken into categories.”  It’s just the same bathtub full of tractors, record players and rhinoceri that appears on every other page now. 

What gives?

Julie
Complaints Department Team Lead

So, if Julie gets a title, I demand one, too!

Yeah, and I want a team to lead!!

It’s lonely here at the top.  Alone.  Cold.  Shivering.  Cranky.

I do not assign leadership positions, but if SJG chooses to follow your leadership, that would be great.

Sarah, your demand has been met.  You are now an admin for the forums.  I think it will still call you a newbie until you’ve posted a lot though.  ‘cause you are.  And that’s ok.

I will think about how to treat the different kinds of categories - Literal Translations ought to provide a list of the pieces that have been published in the magazine so that they can be read by the public online.  All of its subcategories too.  And the ranking list should not be presented.  It’s actually already on my list to make some categories public and others private, and I just added “and remove ticket from public ones.”  So I’ll eventually get to it.

Thanks!
Glad you like the clouds too.

Dave.

Oh, I wasn’t being serious, but hey that’s cool.

It’s amazing what half-assed comments will get you

Be careful what you ask for.  I enjoy being the unfunny funny man by taking my jokes a little too far.

But seriously, you have proven valuable.  I hope you continue enjoying yourself here.

Dave.

Hey, I wanna title too! I’m an even newer newbie! I can be Newbie Chief of Recruitment (heh).

Now watch how I vanish for a few days. Sorry—headed somewhere without internet. Ew, I know.

What about MEEEEE?  I’m valuable TOO, aren’t I? 

Dave, it’s your turn on Scrabulous. 

OK I’m going to start my Complaints section now….

Funny, I thought you were already a forum admin, but not, there are now two misunderstanding I can clear up:
1) I thought Sarah was talking about you being aa forum admin, but now I think she was talking about you being a “Sr. Member” - which is a function of the number of posts you make, as far as I know.
2) You were already an admin - but of the whole site, not just the forums.  Now, you are also an admin of the forums.

Cool Scrabulous!  It’s your turn now.

I think she just wants to get in on the extremely popular and exclusive Complaints Department. 
I guess it’s so popular and exclusive because I AM the Complaints Department Head, and so should just complain to myself, if need be.  Hmmm.

There’s something fishy about this, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Complaints Department Undergoes Renovation

Self:  Well, dammit.  Here I am back from running around having nothing to do with Litmocracy for two months, and now I can’t figure out how to post anything.  This might work.  If it doesn’t, I’m going to whine at you. 

Self:  What did you expect?  They change this thing every five minutes. 

Self:  Well, I thought the odds were good that they’d have it back to where it was in the beginning by the time I returned. 

Self:  I can’t even find my desk.

Self:  You don’t HAVE a desk anymore, you idiot.

Self:  You can’t call me that.  (Still thinking) What?  I’ve always called you that.

Self:  Well, I’m your supervisor now.  I hope you enjoyed your summer vacation.

Self:  Gulp.

Self:  Your cubicle is under the cubicle out back.  Ralph will show you. 

Self:  Ralph?

Self:  He has a name tag.  If you behave yourself you will eventually receive a name tag, too.

Self:  Can I post?  Is there any way to post here?

Self:  Did you have a good time in the summer or not?

Self:  It was alright…

Self (to Ralph):  RALPH!?  Incoming. 

Self:  Aw, shit.

Ralph:  Another one, missus?

Self: (sighing)  I’m afraid so.  See her into the beginning part of the entry and walk her through the Industrial Section.  She won’t be allowed in until she qualifies for her Hard Hat.

Self:  WHA???  I’ve only been away for a few weeks.  You can’t have hard hats here already!  Besides, the hats were MY idea.

Ralph:  Ma’am, unless you can comport yourself properly, you will have to be Removed. 

Self:  What?

Ralph:  It was your idea, ma’am.  I’m only following orders.

Self:  I want to lodge a Complaint.

Ralph:  Yes, ma’am.  Come this way to get your name tag.

Self:  But I AM the Complaints Department!!!!

Ralph:  Yes, ma’am.  Come this way to get your name tag. 

Self:  Didn’t I hire you in the first place?

Ralph:  Yes, ma’am.  Come this way to get your name tag.

Far down on the left side, there’s a post section.  I’m working on fixing the navigation problems.  I work on it every five minutes, don’t you know?  You could always ask your web browser to search the page for “post”.  But I’m glad you mentioned the difficulty.  Of course I should fix that.  It’s too cluttered now.

For a minute I thought you weer seous.  I cannot do evrything here as ai M just the gardner.

Please talk to are boss.

Thank you.

R.

How did that last post get posted under my name?

I’m not an admin nor am I pretending to be.

Ahh sorry about that.  It was me.  I logged in as you so I could figure out the problem you were having deleting one of your posts.

I also got an email congratulating me on my winning entry.  Too bad it wasn’t actually my story.  I just hope the actual author got an email too.
