I wonder...

Work is still slow. I heard yesterday that The Big Project was getting hung up by the client who was not supplying promised content, etc... It's nice to have a break.

It's still cool and rainy and it's Tuesday so I think that's going to mean a little visit to my lunch trailer. Hopefully the weather will keep the line doable.

Before that I think I'll go drop off a bunch o' bears. Two places aren't close but I'm in no hurry.

Meanwhile I'm just amusing myself with this and that.

So I saw that you were a web dev *high five* what language(s) do your primarily code in?

Ohhhhhhh look down, down, down there at the bottom of the totem pole. See me waving? I'm no dev. I don't even play one on webtv. I'm a simple producer. All I do is take the code, take the words, take the design, take the images, look at the wireframe, place them in the xml and send 'em up the flag pole.

My skill is knowing all these esoteric handbuilt way out of date tools and how to cheat with them, coax them to work, sneak around them and basically pound them into submission.

Some of what I do is interesting - most is very pedestrian. BUT, it pays really well and I don't even have to get dressed to do it. So while I do complain mightily and often about idiocy, I really shouldn't. It's a great job.

I spend my days in awe of people like you who can make the tricks work!

Aww haha I don't believe that! And I would be an epic failure without the help of producer/architects (what we call them at my job) haha I would be very very lost D:. So I don't think you are low at all on the totem pole. If you are helping with the development of websites, I think you are a web developer :).

Yea that's pretty nice D: having to get up, dressed in a button down shirt and dress pants isn't that fun, day after day :(.
