Busier Than Ever Before

Posted by Chief Oddball on Friday, April 27th, 2007 in Life, Work

This week…jeeze. I don’t know where it came from or what happened, but I have worked harder in these last four days than I can ever remember working before. I’ve stayed up until at least 2 a.m. on every single night, have racked up almost 60 hours so far, spent afternoons in four-hour [...]

I Am In Flash Hell

Posted by Chief Oddball on Wednesday, April 25th, 2007 in Life, Rants, Work

It’s no secret that I abhor using Flash, Macromedia’s Web authoring system that now belongs to Adobe. This is mostly because I’ve always been particularly incensed by the program’s ridiculous little idiosyncrasies. It would also be valid to say that I’m still harboring a grudge from the days when I painstakingly taught myself [...]

Oh, Hello.

Posted by Chief Oddball on Saturday, January 27th, 2007 in Life, Site, Work

Goodness sakes, you haven’t been sitting here waiting since December, have you? Well, I apologize for leaving this site derelict for so long. In truth, I’ve been too busy to even think about posting here, most of the time. During those times when I’ve actually had a few minutes to myself, writing [...]

Well, That Serenity Was Short-Lived

Posted by Chief Oddball on Monday, December 18th, 2006 in Life, Work

I should have known better than to celebrate being done with something, ’cause now I’ve got a replacement something.
No sooner did I ship off the product of this weekend’s work then I received a phone call from my boss. My day-job boss, I mean. It looks like he and I, plus one of [...]

…And Done

Posted by Chief Oddball on Monday, December 18th, 2006 in Life, Quick Takes, Work

I did it — in a little less than 48 hours, Phase 3 is done, and so is 99% of the side work I’ve recently taken on. I’ll be submitting the last of it to the client tomorrow. There may be some revisions to implement, but by and large, it’ll soon be time [...]

Here Comes Phase 3!

Posted by Chief Oddball on Saturday, December 16th, 2006 in Life, Rants, Work

My mind right now: “Let’s see, what can I do that will help me avoid actually getting any work done? Ah, I know — I’ll post on my site.”
I’ve spent the last…what, three?…three weekends working on an extensively large side project for my previous employer. It’s one of those “Help, it’s an emergency [...]

Helluva Busy Day

Posted by Chief Oddball on Thursday, November 30th, 2006 in Life, Work

Today was really something — but not in a bad way. While I was submerged in nonstop activity throughout the day, the good news is that it was all positive.
To begin with, I got an early start (well, 8:30 a.m. for me is early) in case any phone calls came in from the office. [...]

One of Those Days Today…

Posted by Chief Oddball on Wednesday, July 19th, 2006 in Life, Work

I can’t believe it’s almost 8:00 in the evening already. I feel like I just got up.
Last night, my mind was attacked by a sudden barrage of ideas that needed some kind of outlet, so I got up and spent a few hours working on a story. A total rewrite of a story [...]
