Good to Have Talented Friends
Because of my (lack of) web design skills, I was told to find someone to help me make the welcome page for our tool prettier. After exhausting the MS options that were available to us, I mentioned Andrew to my lead, and she told me to go ahead and ask him to do it. His results were infinitely more liked than mine, and as a result, there will be a much “prettier” experience. He has me as his personal grammar checker, and I have him as visual web resource. I guess it all really does come down to who you know.
With only four days left for me in Seattle this year, I need to make sure that I have everything entertainment wise ready to take to Dallas that I’ll need for a three week period. My laptop is a given, my Kindle and DS are easy to include, but at some point I have to draw the line between necessary and unnecessary gadgets. Now, since I have no 360, PS3, or Wii in Dallas anymore, it isn’t like I can just “go play video games” whenever I get bored. This will take planning, foresight, and probably a tiny bit of luck to pull off flawlessly.
