Bookmark Hell

My bookmarks on my xmarks got screwed up, so I’ve spent the last two hours trying to fix them. How did they get screwed up? I blame Google Chrome.

It makes me angry. It should not be this difficult to figure out and I don’t have time or the patience to spend 2 freaking hours fixing my bookmarks.

Geeze.

/Subject Change

I don’t have an alarm clock anymore. Haven’t used one in years, since I got my first smart phone, I believe. I use my phone to wake up. Is that a thing now? Using your phone as an alarm?

I snooze the phone in the morning. Because I lose track of what I’m doing. The alarm goes off every 10 minutes to remind me to get in the damn shower. Sometimes I forget to turn it off, and then, while I am blearily washing my hair, the alarm sounds off again. Annoying and especially problematic when Edmund is still sleeping. I’ve got to get out of the shower, dripping wet, and turn it off, lest it wakes him. This morning when it happened, Edmund was already at work, so I grumpily be-bopped to the alarm until I was done. Maybe that set the tone for the day. ARGH!

/Wait, it’s related

And now the bookmark thing. Would I be less irritated if I didn’t listen to an alarm ringing for 5 to 7 minutes?

Likely not. I had to uninstall Chrome on BOTH my computers (work and Home) – edit the bookmarks on the xmarks on the xmarks server (because I had THOUSANDS of extra links, hence the problems). Set up Chrome itself to NOT update bookmarks (what got me in the trouble in the first place, methinks).

I think it’s all better now.

We’ll see.
