****Update: Mike was a pig, not a strawberry. And that matters. It does. ;)
WHOA! What a day yesterday!
After a four hour meeting with the CEO and good ol’ Dan (who is called something like “chief advisor” or something like that….it’s like playing a role in “West Wing”, only Irish, which means more drunk), I was assigned the role of updating the company website messaging.
Despite my numerous courses in HTML work and passion for programming—both of which come naturally to an ENGLISH MAJOR?!—I found myself having difficulty learning Dreamweaver on the fly in order to update this site. I know….I’m a moron…oh, wait, actually site building isn’t in my job description at all. In fact, web design is definitely missing from my resume. Hmm…isn’t it funny that they assigned the site rework to me? Isn’t that just a stitch?
So, here I was at the crack of dawn today trying to master Dreamweaver and thinking back to the HTML book I crammed last night. This is ridiculous. This is so ridiculous, it’s outrageous. Am I seriously supposed to learn web design? And is there any reason why I shouldn’t ask for more pay if I’m going to be their web designer? No? Okay then.
But the good news is that silent45 is gonna get it’s own domain soon, and it’s gonna look aaaaawwwweeesssooommmee (imagine that sung in a way that I would sing it). I mean, why not, if I’ve been slated to become this all-knowing web designer? silent45 can showcase my skillz.
Anyway, good news: I hear Paul Cody is back in the awfice! Holla! I also hear Scott dressed up like a wiener and Mike dressed up like a strawberry in celebration. All I have to say is when I get home from Ireland I want to see an entire BBQ of costumes in celebration. :)
So I’m off to march a website loaded on a jump drive down to someone at a convention in Ballsbridge. I think I’ll be back later this afternoon, but to be honest, I’m going to drag this out a little and hopefully I won’t be coming back at all today. So have a good Wednesday, my IM usual suspects (oh, you know who you are…cuz you’re blonde and tall. Or you’re not. And that’s all of you)
