Convoluted Simplicity

Simple instructions tend to be anything but. I’ve mentioned I want new FB and Instagram pages … thought about it for as long as Moses is old. Finally decided I was ready. We-ell, FB/Insta decided I wasn’t. What’s to adding a new profile? Should be a walk in the park.

Uh-uh. Followed the “simple” steps. Nope. Didn’t have any of the icons or menu items avail. Okay. Let’s try a YouTube vid. Easy-peasy. Ya think so, do ya? Ha! No similarity—icons, menu options—to those in the vid.

Alrighty. So, I did what I usually do when flummoxed. I hit every button, box, field, icon possible (unlike people who move in a 12345/ABCDE flow, I opted for my customary 18392/AXMJB approach). Okay, got to “Create New Account”. Should be easy-peasy going forward. Ya think so, do ya? Ha! Wouldn’t allow me to do a thing.

After a bout of hissing and spitting, and a decision to [wisely] walk away, lest the laptop suffer irreparable damage, I’ve determined that I will get the [bleeping] profiles set up by the end of next weekend. Where there’s a will, there’s always a way (and this gal’s will is quickly expanding to province-sized proportions).
