ooo fun. i wish i worked there!

our old CEO insisted we wear formal work attire... um... we work for a catering company. in a warehouse. in the seedy district.. AND NEVER SEEN.

now that he''s gone, its jeans on fridays!

so my peanuts, cheese and water did not do the trick. i''m staring down the barrel and all i see are salsitas chips.

Jcar... step away.... from the chips.


Slowly now. Slowly! You can do it!

she says, as i am licking my fingers.

common, its 5minutes till my lunch time!
i swear, using the ellipticals makes me carb crazy now. i look at white bread like a young lover.


okay. chips are to the side of the desk, semi out of reach. but oooosssooooogoooood.

KTF - ice packs and dry ice works wonder in the mail

so the delivery boys at work have a contest, and they get to win a Wii. What do we get in CC land? a freaking lunchbag. IF the delivery/kitchen teams remember to drop it off, in its whole.

Ok, Favor Request!

FF has been working on this website for a long time now, and a young entrepreneur's group has asked to speak on his site in a couple of weeks.

Can you guys check it out and give feedback? You don't have to sign up for it or anything.

Let me know if anything is confusing, unattractive, or if you have any other constructive comments. Basically its a site that allows you to take pictures with your camera phone, and send them directly to your Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.


Lyfe.net



ETA: Please disregard any photos of me that he has taken where I look like an idiot.

ETAA: He's working on it right now, so it could go down on occasion... just an FYI if things aren't loading properly.

 

[audball]

I''m running to lunch now, Elle, but I''ll look at it when I return!

 

[Lauren8211]

Oh yeah, at your leisure.

No hurry... just check it out if you''re bored!

Two comments on the website, elle:

1. The top could use a little more padding. Everything seems pretty smooshed up against my browser, if that makes sense.

2. He''s differentiating by different sizes of the same font, and I think there''s like five of them, which is making everything look a little confused and cluttered. My eyes aren''t drawn anywhere in particular, and they certainly don''t flow around the page right. Adding another font for heading could help, possibly. (Arial doesn''t have huge impact)

I like the way the mouseover on the pictures is done, though that could use some vertical centering as well.

I agree.

hmm.
i am the primary bill payer in the house, and E informed me today that i cannot look at his account "until he says so". i said "oh, don''t worry, i wont until after vacation"

think thats a big enough hint to get his booty in gear??

 

[Lauren8211]

I copy/pasted the suggestions to FF about the site. Thanks guys!

Jcar - So, so subtle!

subtle, definately not his strong suit. but love him none the less.

What does the website do, exactly? that was the one thing i could not figure out right away when looking at it. Since i work with basic simple minded customers (ooo....snap!!) so i tend to look at other websites as such. but also i was just doing a quick breeze through?

You send pictures from your cell phone directly to facebook, myspace, twitter...etc. It says it on the main page, but maybe he should arrange it differently if you didn''t notice. LOL.

Wow I missed like 4 pages!!!! Thanks work

Elle, I noticed that the font that describes the site may be too small for some people to read. I had to get really close to the computer to read it.
Yay, jcar!!!!!! Mayjah ***********dust*************!!!!

I''m leaving early!!

It''s only an hour (at 4), and it''s so I can go grocery shopping, but still, woot woot!

Hey Elle. I think the web site is a cool idea...even though I don't text. anything.

BY THE WAY: I love the pics of you in costume! - h.o.t. - You are sooo up my alley with that. The Bellvue hat and your man (doctor) smoking his pipe. Awesome.

Been sort of MIA last few days...crunch time for this project. you know how that goes.

Ha! Did you actually look through all my stupid pictures? They're mostly of the cats...of course.

I LOVED that costume! I had to actually modify it because it was way too slutty... and quite obvioulsy made for women with breasts 3-4 times the size of my own. I had to cut the straps off of the original white top, and then sew them on to another v-neck top. The original top had a huge hole in the front that is supposed to show cleavage, but my chest wasn't big enough, and basically just showed my boobies. Lovely.

Glad to hear you're working on the proj! Keep us updated on your progress!

Hi Ladies!
OK, so I''m still fairly new here... and as I''ve instantly fallen in love with this website (my boyfriend laughs at my obsession), I was hoping to get up to date on some of the slang (as right now I struggle to read some of the messages, lol)... If anyone who is well-versed in the PS lingo (price scope? I got one! ) then perhaps you could give me a tutorial!

I assume:
SO - significant other?
FF - future fiance?
But there are numerous others I dont recognize... and what is this ''dust'' everyone keeps talking about...

Hi, erin!

You got SO and FF right!

Dust is just... eh.. how do you explain dust? Just a cute way of expressing your support/love in times of need. Or engagement *dust* if someone is hoping for a proposal.

It''s usually expressed through excessive use of *****

Holy crap you PS''ers move so fast.

JCarly--Yay for west coast but I secretly think I''d rather live on the East Coast...Just seems like it''s got more character. and how exciting about possible progress with FF!

Elle--first impression of the website was 1) cool idea 2) maybe too much stuff on the home page? I agree with Audball''s comments

Yeah, from all the comments he''s got some work to do on layout. He said he wasn''t focusing so much on layout, so he knows its not "great" quite yet, and definitely needs some work.

Glad you like the idea, though! Thanks for the feedback!

I have plenty stockpiled, but I don''t know if you want mine. Mine is obviously defective...
