Ice Skating Uphill
Not that I ice skate, but if I did, this would be even more poignant, or maybe not. Hell, I don't ice skate, so what do I know? I just know it sounded really cool when Wesley Snipes (as Blade) said it at the end of the first (and in my opinion, the best)Blade movie.
So, to the crux of the matter, the heart if you will...I feel like I'm ice skating uphill. See, I know a little something about bad web design, as I've implemented enough of my own over the years; so I know why my job should change their web site, if for no other reason than it's poorly done. Virtually everybody complains about it, and many of those who work here can't find stuff on it. This ain't any low profile site, it's a government site...federal government at that. It's poorly structured, slow, ugly, and I hear it doesn't wash it's hands after it goes to the bathroom. But I won't hold that last one against it because that's an unconfirmed rumor at this point.
I know the things that can improve the look, feel and functionality of the site. I can prove my case unequivocably. I can even do it in an Elmo voice with a Darth Vader mask on, but it ain't gonna happen if nobody wants to agree to work together. So here's me, really pasionate about something at work, and hoping I'll get the legitimate opportunity to make a difference. We'll see how it goes.
Oh, apparently, the Wizards still suck :( and will continue to do so for some time, as they find it nigh impossible to win back to back games, meaning at best they'd have a 50% record were they to win every other game, which would be a blessing compared to this terrible season we're having. I'm alsmost embarrassed to admit I'm a fan, but, we've been marginal most of the time I've been a live, sooooo...yeah.
I'm dog tired right now, though it felt like it was three times worse yesterday. I don't have the energy to create right now, so I will look to get back on the horse tomorrow. It's bad enough I still have to drive out of my way to drop my clothes off at the cleaners after I get off the train this evening. Damn, I have some laundry to do tonight to, huh?! Damn. Superbowl Sunday threw off my laundry day. I'm just trying to stay awake until quitting time man...hopefully I can get a nap on the train.
