Feb. 9th, 2004 07:16 amUggghhhhh .... don't wanna go to work ... wanna go back to sleep. I couldn't get to sleep until freakin' 3 a.m., and the sole reason is because I was too upset after having a ... highly vexing ... phone conversation last night with someone I am no longer on speaking terms with.
Not a particularly close relative, and not someone who would ever read this Livejournal, but I see no point in naming names or giving personal details. However, I will say this: being upset at rude people is just not worth the time. It gives them far more power over your life than they deserve. On top of that, life is much too short to spend it making nice to people who don't like you for reasons beyond your control, even people you're related to.
... In more cheerful news, sorta, I spent all day yesterday working on a site redesign for my Laylalawlor.com site and still have a lot of work to do. Aaargh! There is SO MUCH content on that site! The burden of the work is integrating the content of the Raven's Children and Kismet sites. I'm hoping to make this design expandable so I won't have to do this again for a while. The last good RC redesign has lasted me about 2 years -- until my needs and goals for the site seriously changed -- so I'm hoping this one will last at least as long.
I spend so much time futzing with my website that it's not funny ... I wonder how many pages of comic-book-ness I would have managed to accomplish if I wasn't always doing this or that to the website. But in a very real sense, the website is how I present my professional face to the world, so I think it's important to keep as neat a shop as possible.
I'm hoping to have the new site up in a couple of days.
