I'm Sick Of This Crap
<div class="IPBDescription">Work</div> *Sigh*. I'm sat in work, just p*ssed off. I'm just filled with damned rage and anger right now, i'm SICK of taking the flack for other people's f**k ups.
For the past month or so i've been working on a website, design, code, editing... everything. I've poured blood, sweat and tears into getting this going and the company we're doing this for has turned around and suggested a few changes. Ok, they're an insurance underwriters group, i expect them to be pretty f**kwitted, but i've been told by my pseudo-boss that the design doesn't fit with their corporate branding.
Looking at the branding materials i have with me, it fits rather nicely. It's got the soft white-yellow gradient, it's got the images of cogs, it's got the soft curves and it has the correct colour scheme. Well, this would all be true if they were the <b>current</b> branding guidelines. No. They're not. I've been given them for NO F**KING REASON! Throughout the design process i took their attributes as gospel incorporating them all into a nice design, only to find out that it's all completely wrong and not what they wanted.
I've been told by my pseudo-boss that a cd that we recieved from them contained their current ad campaign, ok, so i trawl through the ad campaign directory to find several print quality logos, high-res images of cogs and 4 Quark files i can't open on account of not having Quark installed. <b><i>F**king marvelous</i></b>! He's now giving me s**t for not coming forward about this sooner, <b>dispite telling me the branding guidelines were the current ones</b>.
I've put in so much hard work into this site and i am really pleased with the layout. F**k me if i'm changing it.

I'd probably have been sacked by now for telling this company where to stick their site <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I've just been informed, a month into the creation process, that they have said they'd like it to be like www.someothersite.com. Great guys, i've only bothered to sit down design, lay out, format 129 pages of html and write a complex template, formatting and search script in ASP dispite having no prior knowledge in the language. Thanks, really...
So it's entirely back to the drawing board. I'm <b>really</b> looking forward to my long weekend off now.
I'm gonna reskin the marines to suits and eat my way through them all.
Finding i had 129 flat html pages to edit and format did a pretty good job at that before all this crap.
go play ns with your clan... im sure they are an amasing bunch of guys! they will cheer you up by insulting you! huzzah! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Oh yes, that money thing. HAH! I've just made the foolish danish state pay for my education, so I'm good for four and a half years. God, an entire country of nubs, bwaha!
