<div class="IPBDescription">read up!!!</div> Ok, now...
What I do is web design. My boss is a braindead retard with the IQ of a nat. She cant comprehend, well... anything, esp. that if a site is done and includes one html file in another (yes HTML, she won't touch PHP cuz she wants to edit filed in Dreamweaver and re-upload them into the server) and cant comprehend that if she wants to update news to edit home.htm instead of index.htm. She won't use a simple PHP news program, so look at the news on her site that I made at <a href='http://www.quartermidgets.com/' target='_blank'>This site</a>. She totally ruined it!!!
Now, she wants me to make a site for a NASCAR (yes, the biggest sport in the USA) driver and wanted me to do it on 4 hours!!!!!! and make it look like <a href='http://bobbylabonte.com/index.shtml' target='_blank'>this!!!!!</a> except not exactly.
The things that she wants, can't be done!!!! She is a bumbeling moron!!!!

People are dumb. 90% of the people I know are dumb. Thats life.
You could always code her a nice PHP interface? Edit the website through a websi...
Oh, I see what you're saying. Hmm. Well, if she really wants to format the html herself you could still have PHP read it in and echo it within the rest of the page framework. That way she can still HTMLise what she wants, but doesn't have to step around the page's existing setup (such as menus, frames, ad banners etc).
****
She is also kinda clueless computer and web-wise but she at least knows this and allows people that know better (like me) to make those decisions as long as I explain in her terms (the time it takes and effort) why we do it that way. Just like for example we are going to move to a new server provider. She left that all to me(specifications and needs) as long as I explain to her why we need them and the cost and benefit etc.
Although she still doesnt have a clue on the effort it take to any sort of programming. She still thinks stuff like making a online news systems and so on is like web making where u design and copy and paste. Like for example she wants to have an online form submission and approval system. Guess when she told the higher-ups when it can be done? Within end of the week! Had to negotiate with her that to give me a a fortnight to get specificatiosn and a prototype running and to have a production model ready by the month. (note I am only working there part-time while still studying at uni)
But yeh i feel for you man. You really got to get her to let the guys in the know handle it.
Word!
If she can't even figure out how to do linebreaks, the word "idiot" slowly emerges.
News-scripts made with PHP, is childsplay to use, when most of them are WYSIWYG, like FusionNews (www.fusionphp.net).
BTW, did I mention she uses AOL and at work I have to use AOL to do that stuff!!!
Still, the following should cheer you up heaps <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
"Supposedly an actual letter of resignation from an employee at Zantex
Computers,USA, to her boss, who apparently resigned very soon
afterwards! "
Dear Mr. Baker,
As an employee of an institution of higher education, I have a few
very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct
superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground
squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of my co-
workers and myself during the commission of our duties, I can only
surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time.
Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of
everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not
only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was
hired because I know how to network computer systems, and you were
apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees,
who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of "cut and
paste" for the hundredth time.
You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple
as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never
understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it
to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as
telling you what an IP is.
Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You walk
around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others.
You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked
for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility,
you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover
for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you
are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at.
Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle.
Seeing that this situation is unlikely to change without you getting
a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my
resignation, however I have a few parting thoughts.
1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal
for you to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt
me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends randomly call
you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know
you would be unable to do it on your own.
2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I
know every password you have used for the last five years. If you
decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favorites list",
which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless
files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed
favorably by the administration.
3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your
"Mothers birthday", you neglected to mention that you were going to
take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to
erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I
have never seen such odd acts with a sauce bottle, but I assure you
that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the
authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. Try to use a spell
check please, I hate having to correct your mistakes.)
Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on
my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of
your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public.
Never f*** with your systems administrator. Why? Because they know
what you do with all that free time!
Wishing you a grand and glorious day,
Cecelia
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAGET OUT OF THAT JOB RIGHT NOW.
Honestly.
The site isn't bad considering the hastyness. I'm sure mister labonte dosen't even know how to operate a computer, anyway.

Owned.
I can't fully understand your situation because I have no idea what Dreamweaver is or understand anything about web design, but I do understand that your boss is a complete jerk and I hope that someone pours a full bottle of tabasco on her morning donut and puts laxative in her morning coffee.
