Hehe. Thanks. I decided I would spend the time looking like I was working and learn WPF from scratch. I've never actually sat down and worked through a tutorial on it. The link is pretty good, I've learned much already and I'm only 3 hours into it (been trying various things too and taking various notes, not just speed reading each page.)
5 hours to go.

Depending on the nature of the trainings, I would definitely swap with you!
(Meaning, if it's stuff like teaching C#, Linq, SQL, so forth, yeah, cool. If it's doing training for some crappy piece of in-house software, then not so cool. )

They did go into an area, near the end, which begged attention: like vision, there's no reason to expect humans to have emphasis on the same odors as various other species, nor they with one another. Evolution will get rid of the wasted and emphasize the important characteristics.
Noting that human females had better olfactory capabilities than human males - confirms what I've observed from Mrs. Wife. Also, in the back of my mind, there is something about human females having sense of smells that very with their menstrual cycle. Sometimes, per these remembered 'facts', a human female can be many orders of magnitude more sensitive to certain smells.
In conclusion: (and obviously the gist of the LA Times article) It's not all attributable to a lack of sense-of-humor that causes most women to shun poop and fart jokes - they just don't appreciate these things as men do.

So I was responding to an email and wrote (initially) "I'm looking froward..." I wondered why the spell-check didn't catch the obvious misspelling of "forward". But, no, froward is a real word and with quite the opposite meaning of what I wanted to say! Gulp!

So, are you the one difficult to deal with or are they?

That's fantastic. I am so using that in conversation. People will never believe that it is a real word.

I have been trying for about two weeks now to convince my designer/colleague that her idea for a web-based data entry screen is stupid a horrible design and a waste of time to pursue. At yesterday's meeting, realizing that my pleas were falling on deaf ears, I just gave up.
The big 'demo' is tomorrow morning and I will be spending today bringing her monstrosity to life...as painful and embarrassing as it may be.
Her design calls for a data entry grid where the rows are vendors and the columns are days of a selected week, or M-F. There are currently 10 vendors, so for a full week this results in 50 cells. Now, for days of the week where the site can receive orders from a vendor, the cell will contain 2 controls, a text area to capture/recall an amount and a file upload control to allow for browsing/uploading a pre-scanned image. Realistically, this will result in around 25 active cells for a full week, so around 50 or so expected actions by the user for a session. The major problem here as I see it is the potential for 25 or more consecutive/parallel uploads to cause headaches on the server...but what do I know?
What I tried: I have offered alternatives to eliminate complexity, for instance having the user select/work with one vendor or date at a time. I am allowed to do this only after completing the brain-child of the designer.
I'm not asking for help, just ranting...'I picked a terrible week to quit smoking!'
Next day edit: After discovering that dynamically created fileUpload controls do not save state on postback, the design/logic was changed so that the 'mass data entry' screen became a kind of worksheet providing access to a single data entry screen either in add or edit mode. It works well, and the customer is happy.
Thanks to all who have read and especially those who took the time to comment!

'PLAN' is NOT one of those four-letter words.

It might look quite cool if you've got really, really good eyesight.
Have you tried pushing the accessibility angle?

No, but that's a good point! Thanks!

You mean the "designer" only gives you a verbal/written description and doesn't actually provide a design or some form if visualisation / mock up?
Sounds to me somebody's way got the wrong title and/or skill set.
BTW: on a brief skim my first question upon being shown a design, what if the same customer places 2+ orders on the same day.
Sin tack
the any key okay

Oh yeah, my mock-up was a few columns and a few rows sketched on a legal pad. 'Looks good on paper.'
Edit: btw, good point on the multiple orders per day. This has already been pointed out largely ignored...I guess they'll have to get out their calculators!
