Just got an email from a friend of mine. She was an renglish lit major who graduated last June and has worked for a small book publishing company doing their website.
Prior to working for them she had ZERo experience on the web and has taught herself some basic HTML, etc. She emails me everyday with a question (i.e. - "How do I open a new window on a link?")
She's a bright girl, but not all that clued in on web design. But she's learning and amazingly getting paid on the job to do it. The only reason she was hired was she could kinda fake her way through Dreamweaver in a company that is still using Windows 95 boxes.
Apparently she got hired as a Web Design editor by a bigger publishing company this week (??? - Who is hiring these people) and she is leaving notes about her current website to the person who is replacing her - her boss' wife, who thought she was overpaid.
Anyway, she walked into work this morning to find a note from her boss' wife on her desk that said - "Looked at the files you sent. HAd to clean them up. For an english lit major I don't know why you used so many nonsensical abbreviations and the ">" sign!! Good luck at your new job!"
To whit my friend wrote her a post it note on her way out the door that said "It's HTML code you dumbass. Good luck!"

Man. Crouwel.
A) She's an English Lit major. One of the most artsy, non-technical university majors. Ever. They get hung up on gramar, punctuation and Emily Dickinson poems.
B) she's been teaching herself basic computer coding at a technically backward publishing company.
c) Her even less technically incompetent boss' wife will be takling over her web design duties.
d) My friend left her the raw HTML code as text files, to which the boss' wife told her in a "nasty" way "For such a smart English Lit girl you write bad english" thinking the HTML was the content for the website.
e) The boss' wife is stupid.
Get it. Haha. Funny.
Man, I thought you Dutch were alot quicker...

You must be confusing them with the Deutsch. Unlike the Dutch, the deutsch are quick, happy and wit people who always gets all kinds of jokes.

Yeah, but the Pennsylvania Dutch live near Intercourse, Pennsylvania, which is always good for a joke or two. Or at least a souvenir novelty sign.
