In which I am sort of grateful LJ makes it very hard to post

Saves you guys from a lot of whinging.  Actually, I am wondering if everyone/anyone is having a problem where everything LJ related takes 900 years to load.  I am stuck with Firefox at home (I couldn't figure out how to install Chrome on Ubuntu and every time I think to take the steps to learn how, I am at work) and at work (b/c it's that or IE and no), and seriously, the site is partying like it's 1999.  Half the time, it will pop in with a "You Want to Restore Previous Draft" somewhere in the middle of me composing, so I tend to accrue a patchwork of whatever I was typing the last three times before I gave up.  Commenting has become a beast as well, especially accessing my own posts.  It takes a few minutes so show comments, which makes it difficult to respond.  Ten years ago, these problems wouldn't have been troubling at all, which is kind of funny.
