We're doing a total website redesign at my company. Everything's going to be so much nicer and easier to update. It's going to be amazing.
The owners don't really understand the internet and sometimes it's really hard to explain why certain things are important. BUT. We got through going over the wireframes today and all their notes were reasonable and no one hated anything and yelled about it. It was amazing.

What software suite are you using? Drupal? Wordpress? Or is this an in-house, custom tooled, coded from scratch dealie?

Wordpress. The issue is that it's a performance venue with an unreasonable number of different shows every week, so the number of daily updates we have to do is enormous. But our dev has done a lot of work with integration of our particular ticketing platform with Wordpress, so it's going to cut down the amount of time we spend making the same updates in multiple places by a ridiculous amount.
There's a huge list I could make of the issues with our current website. (I've been a part of trying to get them to approve a redesign for about three years now.) I'll just say: we literally have to make the same updates to our desktop calendar AND our mobile calendar. SEPARATELY. ALSO THE ENTIRE MOBILE CALENDAR BREAKS IF YOU MISPLACE ONE COMMA.
April can't come fast enough. I'm ridiculously excited.

So after my Fitbit kept losing its charge way faster than it ought to their support looked into it and verified there's something wrong with it... so they're sending me a replacement one directly (even though it was originally purchased from a SportsChek and not directly through their web site).
So, awesome support from Fitbit!

Fitbits are not built as sturdily as they should be (the little side button came off mine 4 months in), but the company is great about sending a new one I'd they break down.

It is indeed majestic to watch out technological progress as measured by being able to truly investigate the theory expressed a century ago.

That feeling when I look at my bank account(s) between pay days and see more money then I ever thought I'd have in the bank.
Knowing my sacrifices, blood, sweat and tears from Military service and fighting through getting a Bachelors Degree followed by an MBA was all worth it.

I found an old bill for one of my Uni books, turned out it was a reminder with a late bill for a book I apparantly didn't pay for when I thought I paid for them all. So called Customer Support to ask if I could just pay it now, if there'd be another late fee tacked on or how I'd generally deal with it.
A very pleasant woman removed the original late addition and told me she'd prolonge the duration to pay with another week.
Good customer support is nice.

Soylent. It's my newest love. For those that don't know, it's a meal replacement in a bottle. Chug one, 400 calories, all sorts of vitamins and stuff, and I'm good for a meal!
So much healthier than the crap I was eating when I was too busy/lazy to make a breakfast or lunch!
