:: So It Is Written... ::

well... I just finished catching up on some blogs that I haven't read... and I see that there are just as many votes against my website as there are for it... unnamed reviewers have said things such as "the navigation is ... arbitrary" and "I think there is a problem with the words mixing together"... I feel crushed... my one attempt to join the scripting world has failed... oh well... I should have known I couldn't compete with any real web designers... but hey... only when one of those web people put together a better interplanetary mission proposal or write a better grid generator will I be truly beaten and will throw myself off of the chapel of memories tower... twice... or more...

there... the old page is back up...

Now, for everything else... to sum up what's happened since I last updated... first, I decided to leave boulder... packed up and left the next morning, drove to los alamos. Hung out there for day or three and visited the base there and watched episode 2 from the second row of a small theater (not to worry, saw it again in the digital theater at majestic... spiffy)... got up saturday morning, drove home all in one shot... 17 1/2 hours... lots of time to drive and think... only got tired the last 30-45 minutes or so.

I may have a job now... find out tomorrow for sure... Reeves-Williams home builders wants to exploit, I mean hire me for the summer. I basically will be creating a database/3d spreadsheet to replace their current budgeting software, plus stuff that it doesn't do. On top of that, I have to learn prima vera something 3.0 and create a schedule for their home builders. They want to shave 11 days off their constuction time and it would seem I'm the man to figure out where these 11 days come from. Then I have to create a single schedule for all their homes that all the different crews can use... Then I have to integrate in all the different construction sites into this software package so they can build like 80 homes a month without a single subcontractor scheduling conflict... now, my uncle does database programming, and he gets paid $125/hour... now granted, he could probably do this in 3 hours, but still... and for the entire scheduling thing?? I mean, really!! he said he wants to hire a permanent IT person in the fall.... I hope he's gonna pay them more... so guess how much I'm getting paid... no, really... guess.... nope... $10/hour... better than their first offer of $9, but it's still explotation, I'm pretty sure...

Welp, chelsea's throwing a fit... I gotta run.....

Later

p.s. I get to see deedee on friday!!!!!! :)
