1200. 1080. 960. 840. 720. 600. 480. 360. 240. 120. 60. 0. After six months and better than 10,000 miles of driving, I quit my job at 9th Street to find work in Birmingham.

A successful design doesn't just look pretty. It communicates.

I spent the week working on Edu-search.com. I came up with the following (as yet unfinished) design. Tammy liked it. Greg couldn't get it to work. I'd like to hear your opinion of my work-in-progress.

People have been asking for an update. This is it. It's boring and all-over-the-place. You probably shouldn't read it.

situation. He said if it saves me 15 minutes driving to leave 30 minutes later, then that's cool.

I'm at work. Started today. I'm getting my PC set up. I've got a 19 inch flat screen and a 2 GHz Pentium-something-or-other w/ 512 MB RAM and 80 gig HD. Now, I just have to get used to this funky keyboard layout and this MS wireless mouse...

Kassi said she had to go to bed by 12 because she had to work in the morning. So, about 6:00, we started drinking. I finished what was left of my Blavod and Fris while she finished her Smirnoff while we watched Cruel Intentions. We then attempted to down more of the disgusting brew that is Vampyre Vodka.
Good Stuff?

I went to an interview today. According to Nathan Perry of ENS Media, I should have some contract work to do next week, and maybe a full-time job later. It seems like an interesting place to work. They are going to lay shag carpet in the office. You can't beat that.

Coming Clean
Posted by Robert on the 9th of June, 2004 at 4:46 PM GMT0. Permalink.Tags: Reflect, Work
It's nice to come clean. The boss man asked me to come have a palaver about "how I'm doing." At first I was hesitant, because saying what I really felt might end in an early parting of ways, since I had planned on leaving sometime after January if everything goes well. So, I kinda dodged around until I was directly asked. At that point, I told him I didn't know how long I'd be around, so I didn't want to take on a really big and convoluted job that would overwhelm whoever ended up replacing me.

C'mon Big Money

Apple unleashed the upgrades to the PowerMac G5s today. It is a mere 19 days to WWDC. I wonder why they didn't wait? Usually, they pull big things out on WWDC, not just a demo of the new OS. Maybe the OS is spectacular? Maybe it will cook waffles for me in the morning.

Back to work. What a drag. I'm already looking forward to 4th of July. At least until then the parents are gone. That should offer some freedom (and some consequence). I need to get more sleep.

Before N.O.
Posted by Robert on the 28th of May, 2004 at 8:16 AM GMT0. Permalink.Tags: Reflect, Work
I had a dream last night that Alex knocked up some black haired Russian chick. He lived in Tuscaloosa. We had gone to Vision Land the night day before, then got woken up in the middle of the night by his pregnant girlfriend saying (in a thick and bitchy Russian accent) that she needed to go to the hospital. Flustered, Alex was being particularly non-helpful. He gave me the keys to his (Law & Order:) SUV and told me to drive. As we pulled out of the driveway, Alex said, So, I guess this is the wedding day?
and the Russian girl said,
Yep.

Luckily no one bothered me this morning, as I took about an hour long nap, interspersed with waking up to make sure no one was around. I really need to start sleeping more at night.
Good, Bad, Ugly

But not in that order, or even with that criteria. Actually, I think it is roughly reverse-chronological order.

Welly-well-well then

After a fairly eventful weekend wrapped up, I come back to work with the knowledge I forgot to call a client for a tech support thing I am supposed to do today. She is a (crazy, apparently) housewife, so I should be able to go any time. But what time do housewives wake up? I guess I'll wait until 9:30 to call or ask someone.

I'm looking forward to a good night. I've got a project to work on for once. It's for Renaissance Spa. They came in with no expectations, so I think I'll really be able to get creative. I'll post some screenshots when I get a chance / get something worth taking screenshots of.

Some of you went to youth group on Wednesday nights at First Baptist Church of Trussville (a.k.a. Fort God) back in the '90s. I know I did. I know most of my friends were there at least some of the time. That said, most of my friends knew a guy named Larry Little. Larry was the youth pastor.
