Christopher Moore just came out with a new book called You Suck. This entry has nothing to do with the book itself, but rather the part it played in an amusing correspondence with the client.

You Suck was featured in an Audible.com campaign I was integrating. The client sent me over the materials, but the image path, product URL, and author ( Read more... )

1. Sometimes, when it's cold enough out to see my breath (which it was today, and probably will be for the rest of the winter), I like to pretend I'm a steam locomotive by puffing out bursts of air as I walk briskly along. The visible air floats behind me like steam exhaust behind a speeding train.

If you didn't have a middle name, or if your username was ( Read more... )

Had a good day. I think at long last I can finally say I'm settled at Acxiom Digital. I didn't think it would happen, but yay, it did. Getting rid of Marriott helped. Audible definitely still feels new, but I feel like I have a weekly routine now, and gone are the days when I have no idea what to do and sit at my desk waiting for work to come ( Read more... )

Today was a good day at work. The client (Marriott) hasn't yet responded with changes for the campaign I did last Thursday. I started the day with a CQA and then worked on a project that involved opening components (bits of HTML equivalent, in this case, to a row of a table) and adding zeros to the ends of prices. It was mundane, but I didn't ( Read more... )
