Oh. I was trying to figure out what "being held up against a wall or other solid vertical surface, usually with someone's forearm across one's adam's apple" had to do with a website.

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm not just out to fuck you, baby.

A blow job would be good, too.

Consider all the small business people out there that keep hearing "e-commerce is the future" and haven't got a clue.
They're working 80 hours a week to survive and don't know where to turn. They're at the mercy of Sally's neighbor's son-in-law. Even if they don't like the result, they're in $500 and being told "awesome, you got a great deal" Damn shame.

It is really is a shame that they rip off small businesses like that and really they don't even come close to getting any type of return for their effort in getting a website done. Shame on these people for ripping off business. Do you think that these so called web designers acctually think they have a good product.

From the look of the websites some of these "web designers" put up for themselves, yes. They must think they're doing a good job. It appears the clueless are leading the clueless.

Man, I just looked at that site, and, not only does it Suck the Big One, but the author had the audacity to include a link to THIS PAGE, in which the alleged writer admits that she failed a few basic writing/journalism/communication classes in college. The most outrageous part is that she bitches and moans that this travesty is what kept her out of graduate school, while one glance at her website is all that is needed to justify her receipt of the dreaded 'thin letter.'

I may not know HTML from CSS, but I can conjugate verbs and spell correctly! Perhaps I'm also in the wrong profession! (I hope they don't confer degrees in anything important, such as brain surgery, at Point State Park College, if this is what a Magna Cum Laude churns out.

Point State Park College would be where you'd go if you didn't get in to Pitt. Which is where you go if you didn't get into Penn State.

She's trying to say she doesn't remember failing anything, which immediately sounds suspicious to me. And on top of that, in most majors and at most schools, you have to do a credit audit in your final year of school, in which you basically see your transcript, and make sure you've taken all the right classes.

What a turd.

elSicomoro · 04-06-2003, 03:42 PM

Oh...great...she's also one of those damned patriotic yahoos...and lives in Pittsburgh for crying out loud!

Back in the days when John DeBella ruled the Phila airwaves on WMMR's Morning Zoo (originally the DeBella Travesty, incidentally), he used to say something EVERY TIME he mentioned Pittsburgh. As as consequence I associate this statement indellibly with that city. I have never been to Pittsburgh, so I don't know if this is justified or not ...

Failing stuff does not keep you out of gradual school, especially if you are one of those "returning" students who can claim "life experience" to make up for a variety of deficits in other areas.

However, if her academic performance was as described (somewhere between iffy and lacking) there is NO WAY she could have graduated magna cum anything ... unless she had a 'special' friend in the transcript office to take care of these little problems in the calculation of GPA for her.

But you know what ... I don't actually give a shit. Her site sucks, no matter what her academic experience.

Well, I actually knew how sucky PSC was, having a lovely vantage point over it (and Pitt) from the Carnegie-Mellon campus (where, by the way, I earned loads of incompletes, always knew what my grades were, and graduated Summa Cum Barely.

On the other hand, Pittsburgh remains one of my favorite cities, and I'd relocate there from Baltimore in a heartbeat. Amandawriter's site sucks, her attitude sucks, her clients must be morons, but her city is great! Just wanted y'uns to know that.

I was thinking about that too...unless she got latin honors based on her GPA at her last school (where she apparently had no F's). My latin honors were based on my GPA for the 72 hours I took at UMSL.

Nah, failing stuff (or, in my case, amassing incompletes each semester) is what gets you into "gradual school." In fact, my progress through school was so gradual as to be nearly unnoticeable. My next degree will be earned at "tectonic plate movement school." Unfortunately, the degree will be awarded poshumously; that's how slow I am.
