susandennisI've had this one project at work that has kicked my sorry ass. It's a project manager job. Initially it was to be as a calendar/liaison between the content creators and the producers. I tell the writers that their stuff is due tomorrow. It comes in and I make sure it has everything the web guy needs and I send it on to the web guy. Lather, rinse, repeat. A stupid job but it's the one where the customer said she wanted a susandennis person. My boss didn't even really ask me if I wanted to do it, he just told me I was doing it.
Well, it has morphed into the Guaranteed Fail Headache From Hell. They need someone who can do heard kittens while creating a massive web architecture out of content that is at best only in someone's frightful imagination. The production people are frustrated cause they think I'm not giving them content I have. They would be furious if they knew how far away they are from actually seeing stuff. There is no content. There isn't even a good idea of what's needed, where it is, how to structure it... And the website is scheduled for review by a VP on the 15th of November. Of 2006.
It's been making me nuts. It's not my forte and I hate it. Finally today my boss called and he has a replacement for me. Whew. Hallefuckinlooya. It means I have to probably go into his offices tomorrow to meet with the new guy which is a waste of time since I got nothing to hand over since I don't know jack shit. But, it's a small price to pay.
I'm just mainly so glad to get back to what I can do - what I'm good at. Gimme my markup language, baby. Simple greater-thans and less-thans and lemme go play and don't make me talk to anyone.
Thank you.
