No new pics for the next few days… bogged down with a website job. Upside, it’s a paying gig. Downside, it’s boring and tedious… so I want to get it *done*.

I don’t take as many web jobs as I used to, but I just finished up a nice one: http://marklittman.com/

Now, off to bed.

Whenever someone tells me the will call me “right back” with their billing info, it translates to “no matter how long I hang by my desk waiting, they will actually call the moment I leave to do something else.” But that’s what voicemail is for, after all.

OTOH, I have doves/pigeons cooing outside my window, which is nice.

My job = a big box
Everything I’m supposed to do in a given day = balls of clay the get put into the box.

Problem 1: we can’t fit all the balls of clay into the box
Solution 1a: Make some of the balls of clay smaller
Solution 1b: Change the shape of other clay balls so that they fit more compactly

Problem 2: solutions 1 and 2 have been applied, and we still have leftover clay balls
Solution 2: Decide which clay balls have the lowest priority, and take them out of the box.

Problem 3: Supervisor dissagrees on what should be considered “lowest priority”
Solution 3a: Sneak the balls back into/out of the box. (passive-aggressive, but effective)
Solution 3b: Get into a fight with supervisor over job priorities. (semi-effective)
Solution 3c: Strangle supervisor (effectiveness unknown)
