*Sigh*

Everybody's got the right to rant, right? You do .... and I do. So I guess that's settled. I'm sure there's plenty of material for a mudfight - judging from all that rain coming down here right now. The mud might also have a deodorizing effect, which could help me fight that B.O. and become more popular... But I think mudfights are against our constitution. So... Nah! (or blah!)

Other than that, I am far too tired to start another rant. I could complain about a lot of things today ... The weather, for example!

I've been looking for a new job. Well, a real job, for a change... Full time and permanent. Now that I have my M.A., I can go for Gold, can't I? ...
Meanwhile, back in my current job, I've been spending the last few days knee-deep in php code. How did that happen?

My computer studies teacher from Highschool would NEVER believe it. Yours Truly used to sit in his classes not knowing jack about coding. He made us program a winter landscape with snowmen and falling snow which was then supposed to stay on the ground. When my Turbo Pascal program finally ran, the three snowballs making up the snowman were all in different places. The little triangle meant to be the carrot-nose was stuck somewhere in the upper left corner of the "landscape" and the snow came up from the ground - then sticking allover the screen. Abstract art, anyone? Within about ten minutes, the screen was white from all that "snow".

Yeah, I was special! I tried making it look like all that was done on purpose, but it didn't work. In the end, I used all my "Wild Cards" (you could choose three out of about 40 classes and pretty much "delete" them) on computer studies classes.

Anyway, I wonder whether the boss would still make me do coding work beside the PR stuff if he talked to my teacher. Hmmm....

I'm supposed to be off to party now. But I'm tired. Maybe I'm just getting old!

Good luck with the job hunting Ellen. I have no idea about php coding so you're still a genius for doing all that in my eyes :).

Hope you had a good Easter.
