So, during my NM trip I ran into a former co-worker who had quit the NRA, moved out to Denver and started his own design company (of course, the NRA being his #1 client). I felt rather envious...but more so, hopeful. I figured, if this guy could do it...so could I (not to knock the guy at all, his writing and photography would put me to utter shame). And to make matters even more tempting, my old boss requested that I become an official vendor so that he could outsource some design jobs to me. While these are all good things in terms of fulfilling my freelancing full-time fantasy, it also means putting more work on my plate in addition to my full-time job. Sheesh....I complain enough as it is....oh well. :-)
Now, in terms of my full-time job...it's been quite a frustrating week. But a good learning experience, none the less. I was building a website and thanks to our designy-designer, it was a challenge. Turns out, the client is just going to use some of my build and using tables for some elements (of course, the same elements that took a while to figure out in CSS). Why he would use tables for these things is beyond me...it's so much harder to update. Most of the time, the answer is just because they don't want to come to grips with the fact that tables are the old way of doing things. Nothing much I can do about that, but if they come back wanting it built in a table...be prepared for a long blog rant...

Ok! Sometimes we assume that people know more than they do. "Tables" Maybe the guy doesn't know tables are not the best way to go. Show him you know your stuff and how you can do it BETTER for him.
You should see my new camera! Sony 10.3mp..a big hummer. I only use the 5mg for email the 10 file is just too big.It has a knock your socks off zoom lens.
The next time you come down you might have to check the address on the light pole because I had the hill taken out and now the place is as flat as everyone else..how does that go?? Little boxes...ticky-tack and all look alike. I couldn't take care of the hill myself...too many weeds.
Pops is about the same. He can now make 75 steps before his legs give out. He doesn't know when he's dreaming or awake which makes life very confusing for him.

ok, amanda - i propose that you create two blogs: 1. daiy life talk (your current blog), and, 2. techy-stuff shop talk. and, don't send me the address to #2 :)
daphne - Hope the next time I come there is soon!! Been busy with the band lately. In regards to emailing pics, you have an image editor right? You should make a copy of the pic and resize it to something email managable. That, or use Flickr or Shutterfly. :-)
j2 - When you need help building www.j2.com, you're gonna be sorry... Did you go to Sportrock with loud J today? Or were you TBG (inside joke we have about you...hehe)?
tbg? inquiring minds want to know. first the infamous, "lynn comment" (or comments), and, now "TBG". all of a sudden i've become the Terrell Owens of the social circles.
