stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

Here is a short story I wrote that some may find amusing. It is for entertainment purposes only. I hope not to be boiled in oil for publishing this short story by people who take it the wrong way.
Seriously, this is frustrating.
So I'm listening along to the audiobook and want to make dead sure I'm doing it right. I've read somewhere that there is an into and it's like this and there is an outro at the end of each chapter and it's like that. I think I read there are choices you can make as to how you do it too, so there is probably some variation. So to make sure I'm doing it right, I go looking for that page with that guidance.
So I'm off looking at a lot of different places, the start of the thread I'm using, the front pages, any thread anyone uses, just everywhere really, the start of the thread that has the Magic Window MW (and naturally 90% of pages on LibriVox (LV) do not explain what the abbreviations are when first using them on the page. That's par for the course here and not the best way to do things. It's frustration across the internet and any decent guide or teacher will drill you to always explain every bloody acronym the first time you use it on a page. There are actual websites where you can browse all frikkin day long and have no idea what that website is for, or what KECUH is. It'll take about KECUH and tell you where to get it, who makes KECUH, how they came up with the idea of KECUH, how many KECUH are in a EHC, which kind of KECUH is best, all on different pages of course. It's like trying to download Debian, it's frikkin impossible. IMPOSSIBLE. you go to debian website, and I swear they do it on purpose. You want to download an offline set of files which represent all the iso files to install debian offline. Do you think that is possible ? When debian competes against the best in the business ? it competes against giants who are well versed at making 'help' (and I do mean that ironically) files and 'manuals' which are B*. Any of which we know cause headaches, and they get those exact skilled experts together and tell them go fix the downloads page on debian so that no human being will ever be able to download the iso files ever again. But of course make it seem helpful ok? do your worst. So they send em and they make a system of helpful sounding pages that give you an annurism within 30 seconds. You're DEAD in 2 minutes I swear to god, you have to know how to pace yourself and take a few days off, away from those pages, and do not return until your mind is sound again, so that you can tolerate their b*. Clicking a link that says "Download debian" should get you closer to your goal, I know, I know, but no, it's not going to start a download, I know that too. But being confronted with the history of computing and endless advertising blurbs about why it is so ecstatically great to choose debian and pages more of ARGH!!! every frikkin thing except a blasted download link or a file and BANG you're out for the count, too frustrated to go on and have to take a few days more. No, just try it. set out to get a complete set of debian ISO's for offline use. I double dare you.
Sorry, where was I ? Oh yes, I was looking at every logical place for this info to exist and be findable. clicking on the starting sticky in each thread, looking at the wiki, looking here looking there, at pages with titles that outright promise me I'll find what I am looking for, but never do. Oh I know, I know, someone will chime in if I ask and, using a tone that says you're a bloody idiot say, "of course it's in that place". ...of course, how could you be such a neanderthal not to know that, it was right in from of you all the time, how stupid are you?
I don't know. I give up. It would be nice to point out about ways to do things, but I'm never good at that. I know that with software or settings and help files you put at least 3 or more ways to find the same thing, scattered about in all the most logical places people would look, and that software is a fail if you can only find a setting in one place via one path and people have to dump what they are doing and go and find the website "best kept secret tips and tricks you WILL NEVER FIND without a deal with the devil to do the simplest little thing in the world with your common as mud software.com"
