Thanks a lot, LJ and Outlook. (Not.)

[ladybug_archive]

So I've been feeling miserable all week and yesterday started having that horrid problem that I previously only had in the Spring (and once in late winter), with headaches, lack of sleep no matter how hard I try, and misery whether I eat or not (but worse misery if I don't). Then I come on LJ today and it tells me that my notifications have been turned off because Outlook has been borking and not letting them through.

Okay, fine. Stupid Outlook. But why do I have to be punished for that by also being locked out of doing stuff on LJ, like answering comments? UGH. What Outlook does is not my fault! I suppose it's an anti-spam measure on LJ's part, but it is still highly aggravating. Just because Outlook is being stupid doesn't mean spammers took over my email and my LJ account. Especially when I just made a legitimate post a day or two ago!

So after vainly waiting for the validation emails to go through to Outlook, I had to temporarily switch my LJ email to the Yahoo address, which I barely use. That is inconvenient, to say the least. If Outlook shapes up and starts letting the validation emails come through, I'll switch back.

Bravo, LJ and Outlook. That really made this day great.

*more hugs for everything* Really do hope you feel better!

And bleh at the LJ fiasco. I do wonder if the thing is on their end, as this did happen to me with Yahoo some time ago. Hopefully Outlook will receive the validation email soon.

**hugs back.** Thanks. :) I'm feeling pretty okay right now, but who knows if it will continue....

Hmm, that's a thought. It could easily be either of them, but it seems weird for Outlook to suddenly bork on LJ after all this time. They wouldn't let me sign up for that Carmen forum, though, which for some odd reason I tried to do several months ago. The confirmation email never came. Just as well, though, I imagine; I doubt I'd want to post my new stuff there.

Meanwhile, the validation email still isn't here either. Uggggh.

Oh man, I'm sorry about feeling so awful... And the email problems just make it worse if you were already feeling crummy. Outlook no. LJ no :(

**hugs.** Thanks. :) Yeah, this problem was definitely not what I needed.
