So we can make you do this, too!

So at work, a couple of months ago, our webmistress left for maternity leave a little prematurely, and two months later (!), we need some updates and whatnot to our website.

They company has a lot of people that can deal with: HTML, source control, and reading English instructions and following them.

But somehow, it becomes my job, “at least until we find a webmaster”.

They have yet to interview one webmaster, and from past experience, it’ll take forever before they actualy know what they want, then another lifetime until the interview a lot of people, and then, after an ice-age long wait, they’ll hire someone.

If I wanted to be a web developer, I wouldn’t have gotten so attached to hardware, software and networks. Ugh.

    Dear Michael,
    What a pleasant 10 minutes. I just thought I would check out some of my lonely favorites, and there you were. Much of your life is blogged here, and I think its great. Very confident, very assured. Good for you.
    I’m off to referee a basketball game(Monday at Moriah)today at Epiphany. Keep up the good life.

    I’ll explain how your manager’s mind works:

    1. HTML goes over the network right?
    2. Therefore it is related to networks
    3. You are attached to networks
    4. Therefore you are attached to HTML

    Hey Uncle D,
    Thanks for dropping by – it means a lot to me.
    I write what goes on, what I think. It’s my own little platform for me to tell the world that I have an opinion, too.
    I also like that I use this site as a “training ground” for web stuff – not that I want to do this for a living (see above post!), but to keep myself in the game. I think it’s pretty well developed.
    Good luck at the game, and we should talk again sometime soon. Events are unfolding towards the conclusion that we last discussed.
    Take care,
    M

    I think it’s a lot shorter than that by now:
    1. We screwed ourselves due to lack of planning/knowledge/caring/resources/twinkies etc.
    2. Mike can fix it.

    I so HATE being the around-the-clock hero. It’s nice now and then, but you’ve seen “Lois & Clark”, right? Clark eventually wants to throw in the towel, too!
