Where Have You Been?

So, it’s 9pm on the night before Thanksgiving, and what am I doing? Why, I’m taking a break from work! *sigh* What a day it has been! I knew when I left the office at 8:30 last night that it was going to be a long day. My boss was nice enough to let me come in at 10am since I had stayed late, which allowed me to relax – sort of – before coming in to the office. My first phone call from a client was at 8:30 this morning, and he wasn’t too happy about things that were completely out of my control. Can’t say I blame him, but there also was nothing I could do. Talked to the boss at 9 as I went to the bagel shop. Mmmm… bagels. Got to the office at 10 and started to work on the content that needs to get on a site that is launching on Monday afternoon.

Maybe now is a good time to note that while I can code HTML with the best of them (I hand code using Notepad most of the time), my job is a Project Manager. I don’t code for a living, it’s not what brings home the bacon. But it’s the day before Thanksgiving, and all of the Designers are on vacation. The work had to get done, and I was the only person available that was volunteering to do it.

After working through lunch, I was pretty run down by the time 5pm rolled around. I sent out the last critical client e-mails and then I asked if I could finish up from home. Now I’m working off of a 20 page fax and making these revisions so that they are in place before the next round comes in on Friday. Yes, you got that right – I’ll be working Friday too. Like I said … it has to get done, and someone has to do it. I’ve been told they will make it up to me with alternate time off, and with the holidays coming up it would be nice to do some shopping when it’s not a madhouse out there. Plus I can work on Friday from home. So it all works out in the end.

The only thing that got me through the day? I wore my purple outfit to work. What makes that so special? Well, if it wasn’t such a nice fabric I would wear it for pajamas! Ahhhh… nothing like getting away with wearing something as cozy as jammies at work!

Where Have You Been?

What a day I had yesterday. Our current server went down at 6pm on Monday night, and was just brought back to life early this morning. Fortunately, Robyn set up Blogaholics Anonymous – For Displaced Blogomanians and I have been blogging over there. Meanwhile, Blogomania is moving along with my site and everyone else’s. Yeah! At least the server is live again, so that makes the move a little less painful.

This will be my last post in this blog until I move. The DNS change has already been requested, so if you come back and see this post, you’ll know the move hasn’t gone through yet!

I just have to leave a HUGE thank you to EVERYONE that has helped with this project in the past 2 days. Your support has been amazing.

I’m keeping the group blog live for quite sometime…as I’m sure we’re all facing downtime and DNS redirects in our future. So don’t forget to visit us all there, everyone!

I’ve not visited my usual sites much this week (busy!), so I was a little freaked out when your domain didn’t come up last night. I figured I’d give it a day before sending you a panicked email. 😉

Where Have You Been?

I went to meet with a potential client today – the new Harley dealership in town. Let me just say, that dealership is SWEET! The building is so awesome. It’s simply gorgeous and the perfect showcase for those beautiful motorcycles. I’m normally not a big motorcycle fan, just not my thing … until today. I have no balance and traffic in Houston is horrid – I would pretty much guarantee that I would die if I owned one, but I want one now! They are gorgeous! Oh, the site we could design for them … it would be awesome! Yes, that is all I can think about right now. I am 100% focused on the chrome.

I will own a Harley before I die. I will own a Harley before I die.

I made sure to tell the hubby that this is my dream a long time ago. And Christine, if you ever get the chance to ride one – you’ll absolutely fall in love and NEVER get the words “I will own a Harley before I die” out of your head. *sigh*
