The Fine Art of Pivoting, Part 384.4.b5

In an unexpected turn of events, I suddenly find myself creating a post from the hive.blog front end, instead of PeakD... which I otherwise always use. But I can't my draft for the post I started yesterday to load, so here I am, back at the "original."

Of course, this particular turn of events also means that I most likely will not be able to retrieve aforesaid mostly written draft from earlier... so I pivot.

Seems to be something we pretty much have to be good at, in this day and age where it feels like everything changes more often than the wind.

I remember being at University and still mapping out my future, including the idea of getting a job I might work at for decades before retiring. There was a sort of stability in that, which has long since been lost.

I miss that element of stability in the world.

But stability doesn't really go with humanity's ever shortening span of attention, does it? Maybe people don't even like stability anymore, perceiving it as boring, rather than comforting and reassuring. As I am wont to say, "maybe I'm just getting old!"

There is a strangely ironic symmetry to the fact that the title of the post seemingly stuck in Limbo Land is "What is Your Problem?" of course my problem is that the draft evidently resides in a tiny corrupt and inaccessible corner of the web. Or the Hive blockchain.

Whatever...

In a sense, it brings back memories of input forms in the early days of the web. If you didn't manually save your work to a Notepad file every minute or so, you were risking a substantial loss of work situation.

Anyway, there is a lesson in letting go, here.

I have little doubt that my post draft was subject to a (rare) corrupt save. Meaning that the title and images are there, but there's data lost or corrupted elsewhere in the post... which is a bit like someone "stuck in the transporter buffer" in Star Trek.

So, I'm going to see if I can even delete the draft... which would not require it to be open,... or maybe I'm doomed to have a "ghost draft" sitting there, for as long as I keep blogging here!

Ta-da! At least I was able to delete it. Gone!

In the immortal words of my mother: "Well, it must not have been impotant, then!"

Well, if that's the biggest problem I encounter today, it'll be a pretty good day!
