I think I’m going to have to quit…

Because my boss is bananas. BA. NA. NAS. She just hands me this awesome new product, and I am totally psyched because I love the first rush of getting your hands on new software-everything is clean and perfect and beautiful and you get to build from the ground up. It is a fresh slate, there are no problems yet, no errors, no blue screens. But so she hands me this rockin’ asp.net storefront software, and I ask her how much content she wants put up there-thinking she’d say just reprogram the catalog and get it set up for a dry run. But no. She says she wants me working round the clock until it is chock full of content. CHOCK FULL? This software supports over a thousand pages. A thousand! That would be great if I didn’t have a life (which, yeah, ok, mine is a little meager at the moment, but it will DIE if I do this!). I don’t see what’s wrong with setting up a simple ecommerce storefront and online shopping cart. She’s simply expecting too much of me. I can deliver a website that’s beautiful, professional, and well managed, without a thousand pages. If that is what she wants, I can give her a thousand pages-in a normal amount of time.
