Tonight's podcast session was canceled on account of an internet issue that was caused by an AT&T worker screwing with the internet. My buddy who hosts this thing uses Time Warner but noted it was an AT&T worker who did it, so called them about this. What he got was an AT&T customer care worker who was helping him... by selling him AT&T's products.
Although it seemed like Tech support, the guy eventually admitted he was sales and that they could do nothing for him since he doesn't use AT&T. He admitted this after a long call where he didn't provide any details about the issue but kept trying to sell him AT&T products. Shits like this are the reason why I hope they get turned into a utility.
Our gaming session didn't bring out my peak acting, but it was hilarious. I wish I could say more, but I was so tired then that I was half-slurring.
Photography
Photobooth photos were easy. Mostly all I did was clip and change the levels to make it look "sunnier."
Apparently, I must have done something right, because a fair number of the upper levels of management came by and kept complimenting me on my work. I was frank with them- that I know I could do better with certain elements, that the backdrop was too small, the weather too windy, etc. But they noted that folks looked like they had fun with it and that's what mattered.
The Website
Still working on the website, but would like to take a break for a day or so. I'm trying to see how valid using a calendar sync setup would be using the Wix format. Depending on that determines whether I keep the function or not. I think it costs extra though, so if it does, then I'll try to fix it.
There's a section that my dad also wants to remove and the long panel website model is not very good at shortening/removing sections, so this will also be another headache to deal with. I'll have to think of either shortening the panel, covering it with something else, or maybe even redoing it in an all new template.
I took a break from it today. I'll give it a proper review tomorrow morning before we go to the shop and Michelle gets her electrolysis. Maybe I'll see if I can drag the laptop along and use the phone's wifi. Maybe not?
There's a store Michelle wants to check out tomorrow too, for there was hype a-plenty among the office break room about it. Never heard of it myself, but it seems to be a department store of some kind.
Work's been moving along smoothly, even despite my current fixation on the news.
Too tired to think of other things, honestly wanted to take a photo of the display too, but I'll try another time. In the meantime, taking a break by playing more King's Bounty. Never beat this game and got close to the end, but never actually did.
