Whoops, blame it on the learning curve

One of the reason's I retired when I did was that I didn't want to be responsible for social media promotions for our church. I assumed I could learn to tweet and put up to the minute announcements on Face Book but I really didn't want to. So here I am, in the second month of this temporary return to my old position, faced with the job of posting stuff on Face Book. I followed the process I was shown a couple of days ago (I never rush into anything) and posted a short piece on Face Book about a reception in our gallery this Friday. Everything went fine. It took my entry but then a question popped up asking if I wanted my announcement to be prominent. Sounded like a fine plan to me so I clicked the button. Then, with no way to back out that I could find, a message popped up telling me that $5 had been charged, not to my account, but to the account of the woman who I am (very temporarily) replacing.  I am using her office computer so I guess that was to be expected. Just goes to show that I probably shouldn't be trusted with technology more advanced than texting.
