I've changed my mind about the CSS on our site. It was explained to me that the move to CSS was such a major paradigm shift for our organization that everyone is to be congratulated on how well it turned out. I know the devs were basically starting from scratch and they all have a good working knowledge of CSS now. They, in a word, rock.

There, that feels better, now doesn't it? :-)

EDIT (20061110): To clarify: we were using CSS before, certainly; but large portions of the markup are now tableless and pure CSS.

I promised to deliver some unspecified "changes" to the global CSS by tomorrow morning. The graphic designer (Customer Experience lead) is going to review the site over the next few days -- she's leaving the company and we can't stall her any longer. We need to fix some "stuff" related mostly to font sizes.

This means I'll be working all night. Actually that sounds like fun. I've been pretty good about going to sleep and waking up. Sticking with a routine is not stimulating. Dave Brattain told me about the love-hate relationship that ADDers have with structure. We hate it, we hate being hemmed in, but structure is absolutely essential to succeed in life.

Seems like when confronted with a nebulous task, one not clearly delineated in my brain, the only way that works is to wait until the last minute. My theory is that when faced with a deadline, one is forced to make decisions about tradeoffs, etc. Bad idea because .... some of those tradeoffs come about because of waiting till the last minute :D
