Word Press

I am not a WordPress advocate. I get that it uses all of that super nifty AJAX and it swishes around and changes colors and is super customizable and pretty. It just annoys the shit out of me, to be honest, and so I try to stay away from it.

However...

My job pays me pretty darn good money to do things like (you guessed it) use WordPress. In fact, this week, I am coding my very first WordPress blog. We're using it as a CMS (which I feel is a mistake, but whatever), and I think it's a total pain in the ass to use. But honestly? That's neither here nor there.

No no, my point is that today, I'm customizing a template that someone else built (I mean - really - why re-invent the wheel?) and I notice the following sentence:

Like gas stations in rural Texas after 10 pm, comments are closed.

I have laughed at this all day. I have laughed so hard that my sides hurt. It could be that after this weekend, I am just delirious and sleep deprived, but I think that I think that this is genuinely funny.

Please tell me something fabulous and unexpected happened to you today?

I'll preface this by saying that BOTH of my co-workers Larry & Richard called in sick today.

Our next class has 11 associates in it, which clearly doesn't divide evenly by three, so because I came to work today our supervisor said that I can take 3 associates and Richard and Larry will each take 4. Yay for me!

That's awesome! Like you I've never been a fan of WP. I installed a test version a while back and never dug the administration. It looks pretty but was a pain in the butt to use.

about the author

Emily (n.) 1983 - Present

A loud-laughing twenty-something female who prefers flip flops to all other shoes, yet has a closet full that go unworn. Can often be found in front of a computer screen designing websites or playing "The Sims". Hates messes, cancelled plans and loud volumes. Loves suffocating summer heat, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (now with banana) and friends who know what you’re going to say before you ever open your mouth.

Warning: often speaks too quickly; listen carefully.

You missed so much good stuff! Don't worry - you can still catch up. Thumb through the archives.

Where would a girl be without friends? I love 'em for a reason. Stop by. Say hello. Tell them I sent you.
