Today I deliberately designed what I consider to be an ugly web page. I made it extra ugly on purpose because that is what the "higher-ups" want. They were thrilled with it. I am gratified that I cannot unveil it to you at this time.
Since I've learned to embrace bad design concepts for the good of my sanity - in other words, no use in getting upset if you can't get someone to see what you think is reason - I've been a lot less upset at things I cannot change anyway. Good life lesson, dontcha think?
