OMG, Work!

Well, it has been busy, not bad per say but busy nonetheless. After a trying ordeal with Meijer and Harry Potter’s book release we’re tossed headlong into another Warped Tour project for Warner Brothers.

During this trying time my company has decided to get rid of the waste that was our former engineer/asp programmer/person who did so much wrong that I’m constantly fixing stuff person. In his place a new asp.NET programmer has been hired, I like him because he’s from a Linux background, and I’m a mac so BSD/UNIX/Linux is right up my alley. Unfortunately he walked into this gig at an incredibly stressful time, he has had to get something to work for a Green Screen project that has him at a learning curve. He will pull it off I think, he’s 99% done at present. My biggest gripe lately is that I was hired on as a graphic artist/web designer and I’ve been a sysadmin, graphic quickie, tech support guy since I walked into this position. I know a bit about everything that is involved with the internet, but all of the extra responsibility has left me not able to achieve my graphic artist job in doing our companies storefront redesigns. But they are getting me the tools in under a week to be stronger in my design abilities. I am used to working multi-display, I’m on three here at home, but at work I’m stuck with an Intel Mac Mini, this leaves no options for even a dual display :( But we have on order a new 20″ iMac for me, which I’ll chain my 20″ widescreen Sceptre HD monitor next to, yay for working at full speed after that!

At any rate, I have been working ten to twelve-hour days the past two weeks so I haven’t written, and am heading to bed now. I’ll try to get back to writing more!
