So I’m having a semi-busy day again. But I just finished some stuff.

My company works with this other company that runs a database for us, and recently we started this project where we are translating a few of these web pages into French to comply with Canadian law. Long story. No, my company is not Canadian, but does do business there. There ya go.

ANYWAYS, so this other company sends me their HTML templates with which I will plug in the new French words over the English words. Fine, no problem. I even learned the HTML code for a çedille. Cool. My point (okay, my gripe) is that, AS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN OTHER COMPANIES SEND US HTML, their code looks like total ass. Oh my total god. It’s almost like human eyes were never meant to look at this crap.

Which may be true since it was puked out of a database. Anyhoo, pet peeve of mine: ugly, erroneous, unreadable, inconsistent HTML. You’re welcome.

Also today I have been working on my annual list of job objectives. Yeah. Snore. Here is a list of verbs that you, too, can use on your review to describe just how productive and useful you truly are:

  • Contributed
  • Participated
  • Tracked
  • Delivered
  • Communicated
  • Partnered
  • Learned
  • Increased

    Yeah. Corporate-speak. Kind of makes me want to sell my belongings and buy a cabin in the forest where I will grow vegetables and paint pictures for the rest of my days. Ha.
