Return of the Angst.
I am in need of venting. I have spent the last ... 8 months (off and on) working on this project for Special Olympics. It is a monster. And is the single greatest portfolio piece I will have. I cannot even begin to think about how many hours I have committed to the project.
I just received an e-mail telling me we are completely redesigning the site, changing everything around and switching from a Flash-based site to an HTML-based site. And the perfectly functioning navigation and programming I have made for the site is being thrown out entirely to be replaced by HTML-driven drop-down menus that we decided not to use as a team months ago.
I have worked on this site all summer with the help of our main designer without help from anyone else involved.
I cannot remember the last time I have felt so angry or frustrated. This site is supposed to go up in one week, and then I leave for China. I'll be damned if I am spending every minute of my last week in the country rebuilding a site I already have working. I was supposed to be receiving a design I could just adapt into what I already have ... I might hit someone if this is not resolved. My designer has already begun the e-mail battle. It's going to get ugly tomorrow.
I also received a call from the bank today saying I overdrew my account by $400 dollars. This has not been a particularly spectacular day. And holy crap I leave a week from tomorrow and am not the least bit ready.
