paul, leah and their awesome rock style


The Summer is quickly winding down. It's been a blur of early mornings, late nights, stress and sunshine.

These past few weeks have flown right by. My days at the shoe-giant are numbered. It's been a blast, however. My last day is next friday and even though I still have much to accomplish, I'm confident that I will come out on top.

I've spent the last few days making a new layout from scratch. I'm going for simplicity. The last thing I want to do when I get home is code, but after having to follow a 45 page coding standards document (which helps to produce some beautifully nice and consistant code), this fucking webpage looks like a goddamn mess. It's been a while since I've completely redone the site from the ground up (ie: years). My CSS is a bit rusty (shame on me), so it's been a struggle. I forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to code for a non-standards compliant browser (ie: internet explorer).

If any of you are using said browser (which, judging by server logs, you are), I highly suggest you make the switch to firefox. It's free. It's vastly superior, even in it's infancy.

Tomorrow, my manager is taking our team out to Bullwinkle's Fun Center, which should be sufficiently awkward. The people I work with are great, but I have serious qualms about hanging out with them outside of work.

Regardless of what happens, it should be amazing.

i love you all.

Bottle up and explode
