Sometimes work is kind of hilarious, at least if you're me.
that feeling when the ad sales team sells ads which literally require a redesign of the entire site in order to fit horizontally, expect it to be done in three weeks during the holiday season, and understand your concerns about the feasibility of that but would still prefer to just go ahead with the new ad sizes kthx

Well, have fun not having a life during the holidays, I guess... I'm sorry that your work people are jerks.

(The real root of this problem is that in the summer this team was all "k we're going to move from the site Jenny works on to another site, starting January 1st", and then in the fall they were like "okay we can't do the move by January but we'll do it sometime around Q2 of 2014" and then just in the last few weeks they've been saying "WAIT CHANGED OUR MINDS AGAIN JANUARY FOR SURE", and they sold the ads based on that premise, even though the other site is, last I heard, still not nearly ready to take them on.)
So a fun time all around. I suppose the people higher up the food chain than I am aren't having as much fun, though, since they're the ones who have to point out reality over and over again.

I was innocent enough to think it's just the army that functions this way back when I was in it. It felt appropriate that it should because it's the army and there's no oversight, at least not by people who know what they're doing. But no, what do you know.
