"The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey kept a diary of the trip."
- Henny Youngman
"This will only take ten minutes," I say to myself,
sitting down to write a "quick post" on Steemit.
The post is about using Steem Whales to track my Steemit progress.
Piece of cake, right? I'll just toss this one off...
Tossing off that ten-minute Steemit post...

WRONG!
One thing leads to another. I don't quite like the first photo I picked to illustrate my article. Search Unsplash again.
Nope.
How about Pixabay?
Nah.
Google images?
What about Steem Whales itself?
Yeah.
Doing screen captures is simple, but I end up needing a dozen!
Keyboard shortcut; careful! Stretch that selection box... Make a folder; Rename the images.
Now I have to edit each one...
Save each image.
Organize them. Drag and drop, one by one, into the Steemit editor... No, not there, move it over here.
Oops, I forgot to highlight the key data point.
Edit image; highlight; save; drag; drop.
Save a backup copy.
Don't forget the image labels! Credit where due!
Sh*t! SH*T! SH***T!
I highlighted the wrong lines, Dummkoph!
Delete; screen grab; edit; highlight; save; drag; drop.
Spell check. Grammar check.
Pulse check?
Save a backup copy.
Is that text in the right place? Move that phrase under the image; reorganize those sentences. Make that a bold header.
Tags?
Agonize over tags. Optimize tags.
Change tags. Rearrange tag order.
Tag, you're it!
What time is it? WHAT?
Is this a good time to post? Is there ever a good time?
Five hours after starting,
I finally hit "POST."
With an hourly rate like this, I have no place to go but up!
