Simulated

Work today for me again, so after a rather manic cycle to work (that will serve me right for leaving late) I get to work with minutes to spare and in a new record time - about 19 mins to be precise.

And whilst it was the usual at work, my usually refrained paranoia about dreamweaver reached an unsurmountable head today - it is the most impossible piece of software to use when you come from a background of being talented enough not to have to use it - and that's not blowing my own trumpet, its a fact. It does not help me in anyway, it is a hinderence, it is overerly complicated and tries to emmulate things that could easily be acheived by other means which are much more simplified, coherent and logical. I'm not saying it doesnt have its place in the market, but really - anyone developing sites on a commercial basis really should be in a position whereby they do not have to rely on the clumsy mess that WYSIWYG profers.

Anyway, that was work, and work is work, and there isn't much you can do about it.

I get home about the usual time, only to arrive to an email, well which I really could have done without. It means I've got to rethink short term and long term plans, and make some choices which are going to be difficult - in summary, the arse just fell out of my world.

Phil is out for the evening so while I simmer and brood and distract myself with some Sim City 4 (you really can't play that game without cheating) and watch a documentary called "Being Pamela" which is about a woman who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Its both a heart warming and disturbing account of 2 years worth of filming of Pamela Edwards, and all her associated personalities (Sandra, Susan, Andrew and Margaret). The saddest part of the film is its conclusion - you see Pamela wasn't born like this, her condition was brought about by years of abuse and traumatic events as a child inflicted by her parents.

All in all then, a pretty shit day for me, I hope yours was considerably better.
