We just relaunched our site, which the powers that be decided to outsource - WTF were they thinking?! We lost a ton of functionality, because noone bothered to check with my group to see what upgrades we had done in functionality since the original documentation was done. So now the new site totally sucks, and my group has to try mop up the mess left behind. Of course, we have no access to the code to fix it up. We moved from a .NET to a Java based environment, so we can't even pass along our code to our new "partners" to get the fixes made. It sucks, big time. All we get in response is "That wasn't in the original script - put it in as an enhancement request". Forget the fact that it's current functionality (of course not any more, it's not - LOL!!!)<br/><br/>I so hate working with idiots. Especially when they then want to try to turn it around and blame you somehow. <br/><br/>Hugs to you... hope your hubby comes to his senses and gives you a big fat hug. Maura,

How come things always happen all at once? Been there, done that on both accounts. Hope things improve quickly, especially on the home front, since that's the one that really counts. :-) <br/><br/>Shannon Hugs on the marital discord and employment-related difficulties, Maura.
