Jan. 19th, 2010 06:47 pmSo, with ONE DAY to go of the auction, I finally decided I could face offering a fic for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_haiti. I have no idea why I spent the last two days vaccillating when I really enjoy writing to deadlines AND have *nothing* to do for the next 10 days except write. If I want to, I mean! I mean, I could have a social life. Theoretically. *looks around* Actually, would anyone like to go see the new Sherlock Holmes movie with me? *crickets chirp*
Anyway, my offering is here if anyone has a sudden urge for a rare British or *cough* German *cough* fandom...

I LOVE MY JOB.
May. 8th, 2007 09:36 pmOne of the senior people gave me an outline of a spec they'd done for a new database, and asked me to finish it.
Just to clarify - I will be responsible for writing the specifications for a new government database.
::waits for you all to stop laughing::
So this afternoon I was researching how to actually do this thing, which according to this site puts me in a very tiny minority of 'highly literate' people who actually read user manuals. *smothers a laugh* I love this guy, he makes writing specifications actually sound like something I can do.
One good way to evaluate the usability of a program or dialog you've never seen before is to act a little stupid. Don't read the words on the dialog. Make random assumptions about what things do without verifying. Try to use the mouse with just one finger. Make lots of mistakes, and generally thrash around. See if the program does what you want, or at least, gently guides you instead of blowing up. Be impatient. If you can't do what you want right away, give up. If the UI can't withstand your acting generally immature and stupid, it could use some work.*
Brilliant!

*shows off shiny new friendtboy*
...my store is in a low socio-economic area and we generally get more than our share of scabby customers.
When the Red Cross box arrived from HO at about 6pm today I told my cashiers to just do what we did last time we had a charity box, ask the customers if they'd like to donate that 5c or 15c change.
Well, my cashiers were motivated. Three hours later and the box is heavy and my cashiers tell me with awe 'Some people are putting in notes." And apparently the people who did say no generally said 'I already gave at the bank'.
*feeling good about humanity right now*

I had a rockin' day at work today and it's the last hour of a double shift and I've got the music cranked up and am dancing wildly around singing Hey Mickey! and I say
So have you seen Bring It On.
17yr old k/hand Er..no.
Me Are you even straight? It's got Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku as cheerleaders!!
Boy *bemused*
*doubletake* Wait a minute! Is it just me or did you just describe Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku as HOT?
Me I'm straight. I'm not DEAD.
(Not that anyone at work takes my occasional mentions of straightness seriously. The mother of my child regularly brings her in to visit, and last year I took a floozie in a low cut dress* to my work Christmas party and then danced with her all night instead of socialising.)
