Here I am, in a third steady blog. I came to realize that there's an appropriate place for everything, and while my gaming thoughts are needed on 1up. or nG, no one really needs to know that I've gone to EBGames or whatever and talked non-shop with the manager, or that I needed to bring my fuzzy, Eclair, to the vet because she ate a rubber band (no worries, she didn't, nor has she!). So here is my life blog. I can't say I'm the most interesting person on the face of this very diverse planet of ours, but hey, if even one of you out there makes it a point to read abut little old me, then that makes it worth it. That said, welcome to The Original Ser's Original Blog.
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed today. I'm a manager for a company here in Halifax called CollaboRIA, a Rich Internet Applications firm. I know I have valuable insight and experience that will be an asset, but damn, the Project Manager bit is totally unknown ground to me. Eventually it will come to a point that I'll get a real handle on it, so no biggie, but for now, it's got me on edge. Because of course I want to impress them. The good news is that I made a suggestion that took our client completely aback, made the totally reevaluate their entire website strategy and say "That's a really fucking excellent idea!"
Just leave it to me.
This means that on OUR end of things, the budget might be strained. Great for future business, because of innovative thinking, we'll be recognized for it. But it's going to be tight. Real tight.
Damn.
Well at least I come across confident (in an ironic kind of way). I'm not trying to be negative, it's just new nerves, I guess. We'll just have to see how everything works out. I touched base with the client last night, and should be receiving an outline of everything they want, so I can write up a document for our designers.
That's all I got. Stay tuned for more stories from yours truly.
