A satirical guide to managing your time when publishing a website, assuming that you aren't someone who does this for a living:
- Estimate the amount of time that it will take to publish your site.
- Triple that amount.
- Go on facebook and bitch about how long this is taking.
- Take the high road and swallow your bile when your web designer friend comments that you should have hired her to do it instead.
- Resolve to enact your revenge when said web designer friend is looking for someone to proofread her resume.
- Get back to work, slacker.
- Add another 17 minutes.
- Consider calling your web designer friend.
- Check your bank account. Cry.
- Add 30 minutes.
- It's time to PUBLISH! You are a rock star who can do anything.
- Realize that clicking the Publish button just led you to seven more steps and you maybe can't do this at all.
- Add anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on your blood sugar level.
- Ok, I think this is the last step.
- No it isn't, because the site won't really go live for up to 48 hours while the whole domain name syncing thing happens. But there's nothing you can do about it now. So, yay?
