Wednesday, Happy Spring! Yes, it's officially Spring according to the MellieCalendar, which means that the "Back to the index" icon in the center of my Navigation Bar (see that strip of colored blocks up there? That thing) is now a flower. Okay, everybody who noticed that the icon changed with the seasons raise their hand. Mmm-hmm -- thought so. You slackers.
So it looks like Mellie will be a Busy Girl Indeed for at least the month of March. Life -- what means this word, life? (But ha -- what these fools do not know is that I'm going away for a long weekend at Easter! Ha! And it's to Bergen, Norway, where I will attend ReConnaisance, moderate amusing panels, drink good beer, have intelligent conversations and hobnob with Iain Banks! HA! And then I return to England to officiate at my friend's wedding in May and drive up to northern Derbyshire to visit my in-laws whom I haven't seen in almost two years -- HAHAHAHA! Silly fools -- to think they could chain me in this puny body to this puny desk! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA-- --ow. Head rush. I feel dizzy. . . |

Well,
somebody might as well bend me over and brand "Property of Materials
Data" on my ass. It was revealed to me today that they need me to
spend the entire month of March doing training packages, remodelling the
Parts Declaration page (which will be a nightmare and a half -- BA was
chirping, "Oh, it'll take about a day, right?"), fixing help
text (with which there is nothing WRONG, but the users have a bee up their
butt about where the pop-up window appears), changing the tabs throughout
the tool (which actually isn't that hard, thanks to Dreamweaver's search/replace
function), dusting, waxing, polishing, and spritzing with new Lemon Fresh
Scent. Oh, and I'm supposed to get WINE up and running on the new server
on the 14th, find a tech support person, whip up a marketing plan, learn
the financial details, and start making packages for PICS around the end
of the month.

In an aside: no, I did not sign up to be a product manager. Much to the
surprise of my own manager, I do not WANT to be a manager -- I have neither
the skills nor the aptitude (and I damn well don't have the interest).
But nobody else wanted this, and WINE is a good tool that deserves to
be used, so it fell in my lap. As long as they don't expect me to start
wearing skirts and heels, it might be okay.--
