meat meet
i spent four hours in meetings today.
what i have learned is that on days when i have that many meetings, i am too fried when it's all over to do anything meaningful, or even read blogs on UI techniques and technical stuff like that and get anything out of it. i dimly remember turning to the Yahoo! UI blog at around 5:15 today and pulling up an article called intriguingly "world dominiation", and i have no memory of what that article was about. however, i do remember that the other two people still on the hall were talking about clothes, a conversation which i could hear clearly since it was happening mere feet from my desk.
so i gave up and went home.
yesterday our department head announced he's leaving the company to go do relief work in southeast asia full time for 2-3 years. so in addition to a) normal workload b) sudden attention to the intranet which has been ignored for several years we've got c) the probable total re-organization of our department.
this might sound like a complaint post, but it's really not. i mean, this is taxing, but my job feels secure and i feel like there is great promise.
tomorrow i have 3 1/2 hours of meetings. i should try to get in early.

ok, so a) your comment won't post right away because i have to approve it first and b) you might get a server error but your comment probably posted anyway and c) previewing doesn't work so i've removed the preview button.
