Hmm
I think I should tractor beam myself in, take out my expensive insides and slavage the rest of me in order to build some other stuff. Anyone who gets that, you win a can of quafe.
This whole work experience thing is fun. I'm putting bits onto the company website and touching it up where it needs it. However, I'd much prefer some security as to whether or not they're going to take me on. Maybe I should just play that Aha song at them until they get the point. The work on the website though is another issue....it's kinda dull...except for panicing when i restored a backup from yesterday and had to make some links again. They're gonna overhaul the site in a bit anyway, and that sounds like fun, I'd be for coding some login scripts or something, but atm I'm just pissing about with html and css, it's beneath me. The worst one's the drive of the machine I'm working on, I can't write to it, took me a while to convince the head of IT to give me local admin so i could install stuff to it. I have a degree, added to that I'm not a damn retread, I was trying to crack creamweaver and couldn't paste the fixed exe, I'm met with the phrase "they're program files!"...that was damned infuriating to say the least. So was the phrase "how long have you got left here?" when being intoduced to someone else they'd brought on from TNG to actually do the admin work that I was meant to do and that which I had created.
I need a haircut.
The morning and me have had a falling out. I am finding it to be some form of monumental task to get up and do things...which both isn't cool and isn't me. I'll try sleeping earlier I guess.
Tomorrow yields a lot of updating the website with revised content which is more difficult than it seems as putting stuff into the content management system from word requires at least a couple of minutes sorting out the formatting which invariably decides to have parts of it bold, larger than the rest of the text with additional returns for no reason. Some of the changes want substantial changes to the site's coding, which I'd be more than happy to do excepting it's a complex site I've only had less than 20 hours experience with and...the site's being redesigned anyway so it's like flogging a dead horse while riding a new one.
