Silly-Funny-no-good Lesson #1 :
This is really funny-but no-good that she almost cried. She was not sure how she could have made those mistakes, since time and again, she had read through those letters. She was certain, that each time she read them, the word was there. It had to be there, else she would have noticed it missing from each of the letters. Proofread your letter before any submission, they but carry all the first impression.
What a first impression it made of her! How can there be someone managing humans in a company?!! She just couldn't believe it. It was just dreadful, if she didn't see the funny side to it. For a student bend on teaching english, it was really embarrassing. She could feel her cheeks growing red at that time. If she had one chance to follow the ostrich burying its head in the ground, that would be moment to do it. It was of little consolation that she was alone.
No wonder there hadn't been any response! How embarrassingly funny! She wishes never to be sillier than that.
Silly-Funny-no-good Lesson #2 :
In her eagerness to brush up what little artistic skills that she possess, she had wanted to spruce up the layout of this blog a little. Putting up some pictures, choosing nice colours and fonts to match the mood of each posting and the arrangement of the writings. Simply, this girl had, upon accidental researching, found out that an audience plays a good part in spurring better writings. Since she couldn't really broadcast the existence of her blog in her broad circle, her better judgment thought she could attract unknown people, other bloggers such as herself, to view and continuously visiting her blog. Perhaps she was getting her audience, but she wanted a measure for it. After all, it's just speculation if you can't measure a success.
So she decided to browse for a counter. A counter which keeps track how many times your blog has been visited, or 'hit' as they termed. Finding them was easy-peasy and choosing the nicest is not that difficult either. The most difficult and confusing thing, she found out, was to get it to appear here. Alas, whatever she tried, using scatter brain in techology stuff, it failed. Not even that it did not appear but, somehow, she suspected these trips were the chief cause to her blog being reduced to a monotone for a while. She must have tampered with a setting or two, and failed to revert to the original. Her options buttons was gone! No matter what she tried, nothing came to rescue her blog from it's mundaneness.
Until of course, a bright spark came about. Copy and paste! Why not just copy the settings of a friend's blog and paste it in her blog? What a great idea! She did it, posting her as soon as she could, to test the outcome. But wait! Why still the same? Where are her buttons? In despair, she sulked for a day or two, before the need to post came about. Wait, what is that she noticed while the page being loaded? The many option buttons, they loaded but did not appear. They must be somewhere, they loaded. She tried clicking at compose, and magically they appeared! She cried, in joy! So happy she was that she nudged her friend immediately, sharing with her the good news. Doesn't matter if they were talking about something else at that moment! She just needed to share the good happy news. And of course, her silliness.
