This project is crazy. I kinda like the ride I’ve been on so far, filled with extreme ups and downs (mostly downs), but I’m telling the heavens, I am ready for it to end. I cannot tell you how ready I am to be done with this project. I dream of having a night free to do anything, smell a flower, drink so milk straight from the cow, anything not involving the site. In all reality, it hasn’t been that bad this week. we’re almost at a finishing point but were waiting for the Columbus controller to approve the site so we can promote it live. Also I’ve got to fix a bug in the email form, clean up the back end and update the flash piece. All small things that will somehow take me ten hours to complete. I’m at the point where I want to just move on. I done car about building a new site, I just done want to work on this site any more. I really don’t. I enjoy working with my client but she has horrible communication skill, which doesn’t help anything. I was supposed to meet with her last Tuesday at three and she didn’t meet me at her house until 3:30. She forgot the meeting time only knowing that she had a meeting with me that day. I even sent her an email earlier that day the totally said the time. Again, we planned to meet next Wednesday, and she wrote it down in her planner, but today, she again asked me the meeting time and was surprised that we agreed on next Tuesday at 3:00. I’m really sorry that everyone is hearing me complain, but I really don’t care anymore. I’ve been pretty solid about keeping comments to myself, but this project is just getting obnoxious. I ready for them to ask me to balance on a ball, juggle pies, while eating a 5 foot sub. It simply can’t be done, and that what I want to scream at my client. I’m now good for you, just stay with your current site and let me just burn my house down with myself inside. Let me ask you why when the client asked for a flash piece and that I actually created a flash piece that she was so shocked that the flash piece was created in flash? She keeps saying how it would be difficult to edit a flash piece, well why did the ask for a flash piece then. I’m trying to do some things to solve this issue, but it’s really a pain in the butt. I’m going to try and link the images in the flash piece to an xml file so that they can just drop new pictures in, but I haven’t really done that yet and I don’t know if it will be hard. If I can’t then I doing a really shitty fixed that will just scroll through all the performances for the entire season, so that they won’t have to update it for an entire year. Personally, I think it’s kind of a stupid idea, but whatever the client wants. I understand that they want to have full control over the site, but it’s unreasonable to believe that you will. If you buy a stove your limited to its functions and when it stops working you’ll most likely need to hire someone to come and fix it. The same with web work, I can create something that will aid in updating website, but it’s not a full proof plan, and my contact acts like a CMS should make coffee for her. I was hired at the college to manage a cms because it requires some specialized knowledge that not everyone has. I also get the feeling that self exploration isn’t going to happen with my client and the cms. When showing them how everything works, they felt overwhelmed and I get the feeling that their not even going to try and figure it out. I understand it can be difficult and extremely hard for people to learn this stuff, but it’s something that has to be done or you’ll have to pay for others specialized knowledge. I’m planning on doing a few more essential updates for the site and then telling them any more work will require payment because this project . Well thank you for listening, I hope you have a great day.
