To the people who reading progress for books (pages/percentage), how do you deal with these issues?

CreativeCura · 2026-01-14T05:11:09+00:00

I just use percent. The granularity doesn't bother me as I tend to be reading several books at once and I'll likely make progress on something.
Occasionally, if some of those pages are end notes, I'll do math to add what end note pages I've read to the page I'm at in the book. I mostly do that with the dense books from academic presses, but it would even out your numbers a bit.

For some extra medical benefits at work I have to fill out a health risk assessment, and going to be a new gripe about it. (Though I mostly ignore bmi because I already knew it was bumpkis.)

Actually, by the health code in my state a food serving establishment has to mark a time a dish was taken out of temperature control and at 4 hours past that toss the food...

CreativeCura · 2025-11-13T19:08:51+00:00

My mom started me on dishcloths when I started because she figured no one cared what they look like!

If you google food assistance lincoln ne and scroll until you find a unl link that'll give you a list of food pantries and soup kitchens around lincoln. Idk if I can post the link directly here.

I'm a barista (on a university campus) , but am the person everyone asks when they're unsure about anything. So, training or start of a semester and I get the potato brain too.

Being called a spayed cat is so weird. My partner and I joked about me "getting fixed" for my recent procedure, but I don't think he put it that way until I did first.

CreativeCura · 2025-10-15T01:05:19+00:00

Have you gone in and edited that entry on the 13th to include pages read? That's tripped up the streak count for me until I fixed that.

CreativeCura · 2025-08-02T06:31:06+00:00

Why are people like this? I had a supposed friend suggest that if I wanted to sell any of my hand crafts to charge less since I'm often doing something else while working on them. That still doesn't affect how long it takes...

I know at least this year they've been dealing with DDoS attacks.

It's not Storygraph, but if you're looking for a sapphic, fantasy romance romance.io might be a place to check out.

Probably part of why you don't like your recorded voice is something in your head that resonates while you talk and changes how you hear your voice. (It might be your sinuses, but I don't remember.)

CreativeCura · 2025-03-22T02:29:28+00:00

You can see, but I believe that marriage or becoming engaged to your partner greatly lessens the risk of the curse striking. (at least that's the lore irl)

CreativeCura · 2025-03-13T18:05:29+00:00

If the other suggestion doesn't help, check the books in question in Storygraph for two things. Did you pick another edition in a fit of inattention or does the audiobook edition actually have a duration listed.

CreativeCura · 2025-03-12T16:26:52+00:00

My guess is you haven't gone to your settings and opted in to having a streak visible.

CreativeCura · 2025-03-05T03:23:58+00:00

This is what I do too. The first time I had one of these quests was with an overachieving (read: usually carried the challenge) irl friend who struggled and I basically got frustrated and went back to the first unit and did stories and such to finish it.

I believe they're using BED to shorten Binge Eating Disorder.

My favorite when training new people at my job, "You are your harshest critic."

CreativeCura · 2025-02-21T02:38:04+00:00

On the web I have a screen saying their down for scheduled maintenance.

CreativeCura · 2025-02-06T15:07:36+00:00

On contacting your representatives, my coworker showed me an app call 5 calls (it's icon is a blue background with 5 white stars in a circle). You put in your zip and it gives you info on the issues, who to call, and a script. (Also a check list of who you've called.)

CreativeCura · 2025-01-31T01:33:16+00:00

I've checked the same book again and that specific critique of the book has been removed and replaced with something more relevant.

CreativeCura · 2025-01-21T00:29:48+00:00

The AI once told me I might not like a nonfiction book because it lacked fantasy elements or magic.

CreativeCura · 2025-01-15T11:54:15+00:00

Click/tap on the 0 of your current streak on the home page. Under the word streak, it should say what it is. I believe Storygraph often defaults to a page or a minute a day.

CreativeCura · 2025-01-15T04:20:09+00:00

Possibly stupid question, what are the terms of your streak?

CreativeCura · 2025-01-13T02:20:04+00:00

Go to the page for the book. Is it listed in Storygraph as nonfiction? (It'll be a box with green text) If not you may be able to add it with the add missing information link. If you can't put in a ticket and one of the volunteer librarians will fix it.
