"since i woke up yesterday i have viewed hundreds of images, read and listened to thousands of words. 09.06.2001 it's always interesting to be reminded of past work, as long as that work was long enough in the past for you to feel nostalgic about it. this was the first design for eatonweb (circa 1997) at the time i was incredibly proud of the javascript. it *was* the latest technology. and then there's my first site design which, unsurprisingly, was one big image mapped gif. i still like the animated gif tho :) 06:06 pm 08.30.2001 08.28.2001 yes, it's been a long while and will probably be even longer. i've been doing diy stuff. painted the guest bedroom a dark "cajun red" and promptly decided i hated it before it was fully painted. then discovered late sunday night that the in-laws are gonna be here for labor day weekend. which is why i spent all day yesterday painting. it does look good now tho. a nice sagey green with frosting on the windows to block out the oh so pleasant view of the neighbors and the neighbors' view into the bedroom. the week before last was spent working on a contract. the novelty has worn off. it's just exhausting and stressful. so, i decided to take all of last week off to recover. which meant sporadically painting and working on the yard and staying away from the computer. so, i'm back at the computer this morning, going to work on the next contract (at the same company) this afternoon and probably the next couple of days, worrying about how i'm going to find time to clean the house top to bottom, go food shopping, figure out what meals i'm gonna cook and go to work for the next couple of days. hence another extended period of silence. sigh. 10:01 am 08.17.2001 Bad Managers - We Suspect That The Emperor Has No Clothes. this is the kind of site i should have started 3 years ago instead of writing an easily discovered journal. oh well. always good to read other peoples' employment nightmares. speaking of employment nightmares, i'm not sure how long this contract gig is going to last. there's something distinctly unpleasant about doing what one person tells you and then being aggressively laid into by another more senior person for not doing what you were supposed to be doing. sometimes it's nice to know you're just a contractor. 10:13 am 08.16.2001 every time i update the portal i get depressed. basically because i've got a 600 weblog backlog that i need to validate. sounds kinda impossible huh? 01:27 pm 08.15.2001 thankfully, in the light of day, i've recovered from my temporary insanity. phew. 08:45 am copyright 1997-2001; brig. |
