I've earned myself a morning LJ break. I was given a job to do of monumental proportions. "Here is a CD with a whole lot of information on it (a small evolution encyclopaedia thing). We no longer have the source so can you please copy it all out for us."
"Meep," I thought. However, being a clever chap I googled for 30 minutes before starting and hey presto, there was the program I needed to convert the locked director files into unlocked director files. So rather than about a fortnight of typing stuff I have been at work for two hours and got it all done which includes downloading and learnign to use director.
I am so happy that I didn't have to do all that typing (though of course I will earn less money this way *g*).
Anyway, back to work. I might actually get to create a website soon... :)

I hate work. Its so... well weird and strange to me :)

Besides, I get more fun stuff this way (and have admittedly been dossing while doing it a fair bit).
