Good - More Time for Other People

Today is the last day of my onsite gig. It's been nice to see grown-ups who are not fellow parents at my daughter's school on a regular basis, but I'm ready for it to be done. I got out of the house, got to wear dressy work clothes for a few months, and got the job done, so it's time to end it.

Starting tomorrow I can borrow my daughter's Godzilla slippers to wear to work ;-)

Bad - Down Time

The old (home) office is switching from DSL to AT&T U-verse today, and I have no CLUE what the 'Net access downtime is going to be. I have a printed list of wifi hotspots just in case it's not back up by the time I get home, but, forewarned is forearmed if you need me today, you may just want to call (after 1pm).

Capital "I"

Pet peeve alert! I've been reading a lot of websites lately in preparation for some interviews I'll be doing, and most of them are for virtual professionals. People who work primarily or exclusively on the Internet.

Yes, "I"nternet. It is a proper noun, folks, and begins with a capital letter. It boggles me that people are making the Internet the main source of their income and livelihood, yet they can't be bothered to learn the correct capitalization? Urgh.

Yes, it's petty of me be bugged by this, but I am. Maybe I'm just a spelling snob, but when I read the word 'internet' on a web professional's site, especially if they are a web copywriter or designer-the folks who really ought to know better, it just bugs me.

Oh, and for the record, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not the same thing though they are frequently used interchangeably. For more info on the difference, check out this tidbit on the I-nternet at Wikipedia.com.

Theme Song?

omigosh, I laughed so hard I cried. Mostly because it is so true.
