Due to my ongoing WordPress glitches, I finally resorted to contacting WP and have been in email conversations with Bryan, one of WordPress’s Happiness Engineer, for a few days. With his guidance, I eventually discovered that all WP notifications had somehow ended up in my email spam list (not my WP spam list), so I retrieved all of them and then nearly fainted when my inbox filled with over 1,000 emails. But I decided not to faint and, instead, to face my incredible popularity head-on before discovering that many of the emails were notifications of comments on your blogs – yes, your blogs, fellow WordPressers, not mine!
So once Bryan and I have figured this latest problem out, I will probably re-unsubscribe in order to re-subscribe in order to go insane, and then I will probably go back to doing what I have been trying to do over the last few days which is to keep up with the blogs I have re-subscribed to, which all went into my gmail spam, by reading them via the Blogs/Follow option (easier than the Reader), after which I will re-contact Bryan to see if his happiness engineering prowess covers life issues as well. You never know. I just hope my relationship with Bryan doesn’t deteriorate in the way my relationship with Godfrey has.

Lord have mercy – I do hate that term “Happiness Engineer”. It always makes me feel like I’ve suddenly been transported to the Peoples’ Republic of China or something. But hey – if you’re getting a little blog happiness out of the deal, it’s all good! Hooray for Bryan!
I had never heard the term before – ha!
following you exactly!!!!!! what a mess u have been through!
All very weird!
POV: Linda thought of the People’s Republic of China when reading the term “Happiness Engineer.” As for me, I immediately thought of Disneyland. Guess it was a proximity thing for me having grown up and lived within a hours drive of the tourist trap in SoCal. 😉

Bryan and I are meeting at the asylum tomorrow – he needs anti-jmgoyder treatment so I thought I’d hold his hand
sort of – I have had to deal with the happiness engineers and they are really quite nice and helpful
Yes, and he is!
OOOOO! I want my own personal Happiness Engineer!
I can recommend Bryan!
Happiness Engineer — could he fix my broken parts?? xxooo
I wish….
I always fantasize about finding a magician who can do that … if only WordPress was the answer 🙂
Hope they at least get your glitch worked out… crazy stuff!!! xo
WP problems are nothing compared to other kinds of real problems!
So true…. we will take those any day as a trade for these other monsters in our paths…:( xo
xxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooooooooo
I have never heard the term “Happiness Engineer”.but it would piss me off if I did no one can engineer my happiness……………lol
You are so funny!
What a funny name for a computer engineer. I wish I had a happiness engineer to make my computer go faster. It’s been slow for a few days and a run of my virus protection didn’t reveal anything out of the ordinary.
Yay for the Happiness Engineer !
I agree!!!
Let’s hope Brian isn’t a biter then!
Never!
If I have to talk to anybody who calls himself a ‘Happiness Engineer”, I’ll figure life is about to change … and not in a good way! Sorry to hear about your problem. I probably have it too and just don’t notice! 🙂
You are lucky!
Mrs Toot has filled the post of my happiness engineer for many years with distinction. I am glad that you managed to get a meaningful discussion going with yours.
Tell Mrs Toot that when I was a kid we had a turquoise renault that we called ‘Little Toot’. I’m not sure if she will like this or not but I still want a quilt….
Is that his actual title????
Yes! And I hope I didn’t sound like I was making fun of him – he has been wonderful!
Julie, So glad you and your HE were able to define the problem. It really makes you wonder how such a thing could happen! Very weird. Lucky for me I married my HE. If it weren’t for him I would still be communicating in pen and ink! 😉

What’s a pen? What’s ink? hehe!
I am so glad to find someone else who has had WordPress issues. I thought it was me being a blogging illiterate or something. Some good tips there. Thanks
I’m sure it will work out – I am learning as I blog – ha!
We all need a Happiness Engineer in our lives!! Who’s Godfrey?
Godfrey is our scary gander – he features is some previous posts.
“Happiness Engineer” … that’s a new one for me!
That’s what they are called!
I wonder how WP earns money to pay them…
Me too!
i love the “happiness engineer” title. Hi , I am back from vacation.
Welcome back!
Good grief!
Haven’t you encountered a happiness engineer before?
Yes. My Good grief! was for the palaver!
‘Palaver’ is the perfect word for it!
