Clean house... messy desk...
Jul. 9th, 2002 03:12 pmMy housecleaner came today and I just went home to get something and found the house ohhh sooo clean and smelling so good. What a wonderful thing. It was a bit warm so I turned on the air conditioner. Now I will be able to go home this evening to a clean, cool, wonderful smelling house.
Work has been heads down. My manager has all kinds of ideas for the company website. All of them are good but some of them are a bitch to make happen. She is clueless about the process so never knows if she is asking me to do a 2 minute thing or a 2 day thing. She knows this and is really nice and pretty funny about it. And, sometimes I can make a simple thing very complicated.
Yesterday she wanted some words rotating in a graphic so I spent hours - I mean hours - creating an animated gif. I tried all kinds of things and all of them looked like crap. I worked on it last night and still got crap. This morning I spent another two hours and gave up. I was in the middle of writing her a note to explain why she should fire me because I am so incompetent when I thought 'java'... and then, of course, finally got exactly what she wanted with the marquee html tag. A big, fat DUH.
I told her she should fire me anyway because it took me so long to get to the right answer. She said she would lose half the laughs of her day if she fired me so no dice.
