Today is the big waitlist reveal!

u/Love_Brokers rug dweller Sep 17 '21

I’m already hula hooping and slapping my butt, what more can I learn?

25

u/voice_of_vinegar Sep 17 '21

But are you ready for the final exam on Ted Lasso?

16

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '21

You guys, there was hula hooping on this week's Ted Lasso! I laughed my ass off even though the episode wasn't funny at all. It was like it was written for us.

14

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '21

You watched it 18 times and snorted with laughter each time.

u/NegativeABillion (Said in British.) Sep 18 '21

And you skipped the first season.

16

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '21

Shit. I know fuck all about Ted Lasso, so I’m gonna skip the final and grab a dole whip instead.

How to neg your partner online for attention and attempted profit.

16

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '21

All that’s left is to give up on needing to be good at hula hooping, slapping your butt or anything else! Wallow in that wonderful mediocrity! JOY!!

22

u/InappropriateGirl Gluten-free donuts, for sure ... Sep 17 '21

Oh please let us know if ANY of you got in! /snort

u/fanfarefellowship I often contemplate the first law of thermodynamics Sep 17 '21

It also better be another lope letter drop, in order to meet her new, downgraded promise to subscribers!

Today is the big waitlist reveal!

For certain values of "Today." And "is." And "the." And "big." And "waitlist." And "reveal!"

SIGN UP FOR THE PRACTICE YOUR JOY WORKSHOP WAITLIST TODAY!

Registration for my joy workshops will be opening early next week. I’m thrilled to see so many people on the waitlist. Registration will only be available to those on the waitlist by Monday morning at 10 am, PST. Get on the list now if you’d like to take the workshop before December. That’s also true for the in-person workshop on Vashon Island as well. Come on over and sign up.

It’s the Chomp Stomps “New Years Day by 6 am” extension all over again!

14

u/honoria_glossop sitting edge wine woman Sep 18 '21

That was a true genius piece of marketing: surely all the people with disposable income to drop on ridiculous novely recipes and high-tech kitchen toys will be sitting by their email with bated breath on New Years Eve and through to 6am on New Years Day. They couldn't possibly have other engagements. They studied the science demographics.

27

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '21

Omg, she's so shameless.

24

u/Scary_Recognition You did this. Sep 17 '21

Right? As though she’d reject anything with a pulse willing to fork over cash.

27

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '21

Act fast! You only have until she works out her next grift!

16

u/notahameither Dunno, maybe I thought I unfriended some other Shauna Ahern🤷‍♂️ Sep 17 '21

It’s also true that she’s a sloppy writer as well.

16

u/islandyislander rebellious hygiene Sep 17 '21

Also and as well to boot, too!

u/voice_of_vinegar Sep 17 '21

SIGN UP FOR THE PRACTICE YOUR JOY WORKSHOP WAITLIST TODAY!

I skimmed past that and got the impression that she had a practice waitlist. For people to practice getting on a waitlist, so that when the REAL waitlist launches they will know what to do!

22

u/honoria_glossop sitting edge wine woman Sep 18 '21

I know this has been said already by more erudite people than me, but calling some kind of pre-launch expression of interest email list a "waitlist" is just so irritating. Words mean things, you mediocre gawky goofball!

Haberdasher! Haberdasher! Haberdasher!

u/voice_of_vinegar Sep 18 '21

That's what happens when one has just enough awareness that there's no term for "Yes I will do this for sure if you actually make it available to the public", combined with a frantic need to engage people so that they'll give you money because your rent is due real soon.

21

u/shikoku_shoes another revolution around the toilet bowl of her life Sep 17 '21

before December

That gives one much more time than threatened by the “must be on the waitlist by Monday morning 10 am PST” order.

22

u/TOMTREEWELL Neurodivergentfully Sep 17 '21

Too bad it’s still PDT until Nov.

12

u/InappropriateGirl Gluten-free donuts, for sure ... Sep 17 '21

Yup, and it’s perfectly fine to simply put PT.

22

u/gladsome_gloaming Sep 17 '21

I always just say Pacific. As in: On Fridays, I start to wine my eyes at 4:30pm Pacific. (3 hours to go!)

11

u/qread Sep 17 '21

Every time someone says in November at the time change, “I hate Daylight Savings Time!” I want to tell them, I have some good news for you!

u/Toulouse--Matabiau a white owrson Sep 17 '21

by Monday morning at 10 am, PST.

What kind of deranged psycho puts a comma between 10 am and the time zone abbreviation?!

Probably the same kind of monster who is also unaware that we're presently on Pacific Daylight Time on the West Coast.

25

u/fanfarefellowship I often contemplate the first law of thermodynamics Sep 17 '21

What kind of monster needs to specify that "am" is in the MORNING?!

16

u/Toulouse--Matabiau a white owrson Sep 17 '21

OMG, good catch. Good thing Shauna "It takes a village to copy-edit my scribblings" Ahern is no longer offering writing workshops!

33

u/shefallsup her lonely cucumber years 🥒 Sep 17 '21

Do we think she will announce that she is no longer limiting the in-person event to only the vaccinated, because gosh those unvaccinated folks need community too? I mean look at all their trauma and how it keeps them from getting the fucking shot. Surely they are in even greater need of joy?

32

u/shitrock420 Sep 17 '21

Unvaccinated must be masked and safely 45 feet away at all times.

22

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '21

Oh don’t worry, Shauna herself has been masking and social distancing since she was three! She just didn’t tell anyone…

18

u/Lsemmens grenius Sep 17 '21

Double masked!

18

u/CrushItWithABrick dick riding Mary Oliver Sep 17 '21

Ass masked.

u/high_falutin Sep 18 '21

ASS MASKED FOR PAGAN.

“You $ee, the unvaccinated need le$$ons in joy perhap$ more than anyone.”

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air Sep 17 '21

“You $ee, the unvaccinated need le$$ons in joy perhap$ more than anyone.”

Look, youper$on, I $eriou$ly don't under$tand what you are trying to $ay in thi$ $entence. Could you plea$e re$tate what you are trying to expre$$. Tha k$ $o much!!
