Inadequacy
H m. Yesterday was not one of the best days of the year. I was struggling to get a work-assignment done for which I had very little information, which annoyed the hell out of me cause I couldn’t make anything of it and that created quite some designer frustrations. At the same time I felt horribly tired after two weeks of hard working at Amsterdam and traveling to and from. I guess I wasn’t in the best of moods for anything, let alone for pple telling me they will be quitting when you least expect it (DM related). I could only go 0_o and then “boom”. It’s an accumulation really. I feel guilty already for not being there, angry for others not being there either, disappointed because we already have one staff member less for which I...
China Christmas
T he last two weeks have consisted basically of getting to and from work, doing household stuff and sleeping. The four-hour commute to and from Amsterdam leaves me time for little else in the evenings. Right now I have no idea what is going on at WT – I simply do not have the time nor the energy to check up on things It’ll be over though in a day. Tomorrow is my last day at the client in Amsterdam. It was a great project though – two corporate websites and an intranet needed to be overhauled design-wise. I learned much and it seems I will get things done in time despite the odds that we only had 8 days, and at first the html/css that would be delivered by a thirdparty designer was late. It all worked out brilliantly though, and yesterday I was...
Life in a nutshell
Y eah yeah, everyone does it, so I can’t stay behind, now can I? The excerpts seem oddly representative of how my year went – funny. Januari: To all my friends, loved ones, acquaintances, family … thank you for being there for me this year and getting me through it. Februari: Holy shit. March: It is snowing like crazy over here! April: Today was a good day! May: Good news: Dinant and the chalet were gorgeous June: Aaaaaahhhhhhhh! *runs around in circles* It’s a fucking mess here! July: And here I am, looking at what is possibly a C or something for photography. Photography of all things. August: Oh Light, not again … This day is turning into one of my sneeze-all-day days. September: One might say that the shit really hit the fan this...
Weekend
B usy weekend again. Friday after work I raced home for the annual Sinterklaas party with Arno’s family. This time we’d invited them over to our place, had a blast with it too. When we were finally done unwrapping all the gifts at 1 in the morning the livingroom floor looked as if a wrapping-shredder-bomb had gone off. Arno’s sisters doggies had a ball with it, and my cats were freaked out by the dogs and all had rushed outside. Lara hasn’t been back since btw … Yesterday consisted of trying to get rid of the slight hangover I had, talking to Arno’s parents who had stayed over during the night, and then getting to Veenendaal to meet up with some friends at the Burger King. Afterwards we went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of...
*howls in agony*
L eave it up to the frickin’ provider that hosts the White Tower to restore the WHOLE FUCKING DATABASE instead of a couple of tables like I asked. So now I am stuck with a forum that has posts up until the 16th of november. Thanks iPowerweb for being a) so speedy (12 days to handle a restore request??!!) and b) so thorough without warning upfront. I have a backup of the phpbb boards that’s two days old I think. At home though, can’t put it back right now. At least it is better than loosing 12 days’ worth of posts. And I am secretly hoping Russ made one last night. Pretty please? ————————– It gets even better. Russ’ last file is corrupt. Great. The one I have is from the 25th. And I...
