All Alone With The Google Bot

[DonRocks]

sitting here working in the darkness of night,

working diligently, trying to approve members

and hoping to catch a few more hours sleep

before getting up and pruning three-dozen,

so we can have a net gain of ten for the month

it is, as they say: ten steps foward, nine steps back.

a baker's life, working silently behind the scenes

at 4 AM, while the members sleep peacefully,

hopefully awakening to a well-groomed website

where they can forget their cares at work,

and have fun skiing and surfing the day away

unaware that this hasn't happened by accident.

Actually, it's two steps forward, one step back...but who's counting? Or is that one step forward, two steps back?

The phrase All Alone With The Google Bot reminded me of "Me And My Rhythm Box"

(for the uninitiated, click not lest you seek irritation/confusion from the movie Liquid Sky)

(in the meantime, mad props for the poetic baker)

Thank you Don, for everything you do for the site. I wouldn't know where to eat without it.

Nice poetic musings.

Having spent 3 months doing that stuff on a web forum that has rotating admins, I can relate. You're right, we don't often stop to think that you're doing this by yourself, all the time. That's pretty amazing. Thank you. Don't burn out!
