More Complicated, Less Easy.

Life full circle - twas bound to happen I suppose - got some nice time off in life, sorta, ventured out, had fun, hung with friends, but it seems here I am again, back where I started, 2am mornings, wide awake, and the usual hooplah of work in the sidelines - such a odd life I lead sometimes.

The site I mentioned last night which I may of essientally ended my job, well I had 1 out of 3 people who I hoped would respond, respond at all, and they agreed with my views - however in doing some work tonight for that site I found another programmer had been working on things - just kinda hurts my brain - more and more this site makes itself more and more complicated (hince the title of this post) - I look at it even 6 months back, simple, functional, expandable, accessable, however now its cluttered, high-end, not old skool friendly, and from the looks of this new code from another programmer, its heading towards more complex. Some might call that progressive, but I think a site can be progressive, and still work with low-end users - not everyone can afford a dual-core processor PC or Mac or things like DSL/Cable.

So I may honestly just quit,not sure - but if I do, afterwards once things have calmed down I’ll probably discuss this site a tad more openly, just as an active client, I don’t want to be naming names, and give fuel for the fire should something go horribly horribly south - the joy of working - I mean I can’t complain about all my clients, some have truly blessed me, and taken care of me (heck one feeds me almost weekly!) - but its sad when it’s a long term client like this and their view has changed and no longer do they see me as an asset to the site, but almost more of a liabilty it would seem, I dunno, again - this may just be my sleep deprived anxiety of the whole matter - but I have done the web a long time, and this client is making some fatal flaws in their plan, and not keeping the entire crew informed, left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing.

Well such is life I suppose - nose burried work for over 6 years my life was simple, wake up, work. SMS beeps, wake up, check a server. Client calls, let them rant for hours - simple enough, easy, predictable - but try to throw in a personal life, tad more complicated ;) Should of expected it - but above all this bunk, the one thing that bothers me the most? No one will go to waffles with me at midnight. What kind of world is this?!

Anywhoo - keep me in your prayers, busy busy busy around here, lots getting done, but still lots more to do, lack of sleep, some high stress, but some great rewards amoung it all - God is Good, can’t complain, but I can be overly tired and exhausted! Oh and pray for Rosie too - she has a final this weekend! I’m sure she’d appriciate the prayers. Night all.
