red eye weeks...

When I've found a few spare minutes I've been having lots of fun with my camera. I want to get a neutral density filter in the next few weeks so that I can take some better zoomed sunset shots. I promise there won't be too many more noodle-related photos:

The past two weeks have been insane; a kind of purgatory where I seem to be paying for the sins of everyone but me ;) One work project that's been hell for a long time is finally ending. The entire experience can be described in three words: Project Management Nightmare. On my end the project has run very smoothly, but on the other end... well. It culminated about two weeks ago in an "interesting" dialogue that contained some astounding statements from an uninformed, power-tripping employee of the client. It's the first time I've been offended by something that a client has said; indeed, I can't remember the last time I was offended by anyone, client or otherwise.

As with all baseless attacks it was easily refuted, the eviscerating response (a tribute to Extension English) leaving them looking pretty foolish. I can't imagine what prompted the outburst, but their silence following my response was greatly satisfying.

All of the coding has been completed so I'm hopeful that this week signifies the end to what's been the worst relationship with a client I've experienced. Plus, I'm tired of looking at their grotesque logo and hideous corporate colours. There's still the issue of them paying, so it's unfortunately not over yet.

Really, this is the last one...
