Ok .. I think I need to clarify something incase there are those who may think they are the cause of my distress ...
the person who started my foul mood is someone who works here - I don't work with her directly, and she's rather "new" to the way I work and so her stoopidity really got to me .. it was later compounded by one too many people going "Nalani, I have this little project that needs to be done by Monday - you can do that, can't you?" - these people are the kind that think there's a template for everything and all you need do is punch a few keys and VOILA, you've got yourself a custom 20 page program with graphics and Hawaiian fonts and everything ... *sigh* .. I didn't mention names or anything in my original post because, well, I'd have had to explain all this crap that I just did and I didn't want to go on and on like that ...
so there you have it ... it had nothing to do with anyone on the board or within my "online realm" ...
