Poor girlcat! Yeah, Kat has good advice here, albeit difficult to pull off sometimes.

Hey are there KC-istas out there, is there snow on the ground? Do I need to wear boots? I have my falling-apart Earth shoes, which are super comfy and easy through airports, but won't do me much good tromping around in snow. I think we'll be mostly at the hotel, but it sounds like we might be doing some hoofing downtown for food and whatnot.

I get that people maybe don't notice that my barefoot site is for barefoot people. Not flip flop people, barefoot people. This is because I have a theme, not a fetish. Or a really specific fetish (why did I try and explain this to my mother? Because she said "With the way people are, I bet some people have a real thing for feet, though?" Seriously--you're winding me up, Mum, right?). But mostly, categorisation. Kinda the same way I have people n the spectacles site that are just holding specs. But near their faces, of course!

I can now tell by glancing at the subject line pretty much if a submission is from a suspected fetishist who's raiding their collection for enough foot flesh, but the most important thing is: JENSEN ACKLES DID NOT POSE NAKED IN CHAINS FOR PETA. Seriously. The whole fandom would have taken a simultaneous quantum leap towards nirvana and entropy (wait--are those the same thing?) if that were anything other than a clumsy manip.

Also, note to websites: If there is a good reason for your logo to not be a link back to your home page or other page deemed most important on your site, you're not making it. So don't make me have to search for the much smaller text that says "Home" or some such--take that consistent eyegrabbing real estate and make it do something other than make my eyes itch.

Another website note: You also probably don't have a good enough business case for the design element (background, placement, font colour, etc) that makes your text legible to be the last thing that loads on your page. Google returned a lot of results. If I'm not feeling the love really soon, I'm off to the next wizard.

Yeah, it's the first Deployment Maintenance Window of the year. Which means I get to monitor emails going by, and answer the odd phone call while other people do heavy lifting. I've already put out one "It's more than my job's worth" fire with the "Well, you won't get fired alone!" tactic. Is it cheating if you're not offering yourself up as the company to his misery? Ah, too late anyway. But seriously, we were asking him for something ridiculously trivial. But if all the support people understood everything about the deployments they were supporting to make that call, nothing would get done.

I have three choices right now: a) read fic and other web browsing b) go to our learning centre and learn .NET fundamentals or something c) read a book. But I can do a) and c) at the ER, and b)...I need the brown nose points...ah well.

I would be incredibly sad if my job involved even occasional weekend all-nighters. Ijs.

Liese, there is only a little snow left, mostly in the form of melting slush-piles on some corners and curbs, easily avoided.

That drives me crazy.

Timelies all!

Trying to type around Nova, once again.

Every time I whine about the logo I scroll up to test ours, and then remember my CSS doesn't show most images, but I do seem to remember not having done that off the bat (when the designers/developers/users are so much the same people, assumptions get made..

Sentences ita ! never thought she'd answer the phone with: "Tony's sterile right now." But, hey, broadening of horizons, right?

Been working all night, but decided there would be no crises that required me at the computer--just on email. So far, no fire.

Craaaaamps. I know doing stuff would actually make me feel better, but it's so hard. To split the difference, I have swept and put in a load of laundry.

I just clicked on a pet adoption application -- just to see if I could find a price -- and they ask for my landlord's contact info. Hmmm. Two things: I don't know if that's the new owner (as of last week) or the management company, and also the management company's resident handbook says no pets. Granted, they definitely knew I had a cat before, but I'm a little nervous about someone calling them. Anyway, I'm not trying to move that fast, but still: [link]

Awww Joseph! There is a stuff I should be doing but the dog is happily chewing away on a bone in bob's sunny office so I am just lounging and hanging out with her. Sadly I left my coffee downstairs.
