At one point during the evening I definitely had enough for the bus trip home, but when I actually got to the bus stop, I couldn’t find it. And I wasn’t going to get paid until 3am or whenever it goes through. And it was cold. And I was f’ing tired. I tried to track down several friends who live in the CBD, but none of them were home. What were they doing at 10:30pm on a Tuesday night? What, do they have lives or something? Freaks! I collapsed on a park bench and sulked for a while, contemplated bawling but I didn’t have the energy. Thought about sleeping there, but did I mention how cold it was? So I started plodding towards home. And some random slightly drunk but lovely guy saw me looking miserable, asked what was wrong, and gave me the money for the taxi home. I love the random kindnesses of humanity.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I clicked on "delete weblog." Would it really disappear? Just like that? Irretrievably? How many times would it ask if I was really really sure?
Posted by Fionnaigh at July 30, 2003 08:43 AMI've tried it before with a test blog - a little window comes up, saying:
"Are you sure you want to delete the 1 weblog? When you delete a weblog, all of the entries, comments, templates, notifications, and author permissions are deleted along with the weblog itself. Make sure that this is what you want, because this action is permanent."
And then you click Delete.
And then it's gone.
