Chronicles of a Capstrat.com Web Producer
You may be the sole Web producer on the redesign of Capstrat.com if:
- You pre-scheduled a spa day for the weekend after launch, which you canceled, twice, to finish the site.
- You are in color-coded spreadsheet hell.
- You unapologetically have at least 7 different lists keeping a running tally of which employees owe you what.
- You’ve noticed that people just won’t quite look you in the eye when you pass…because they know that you know that they know that they are on one of the aforementioned lists.
- You have gained five pounds..
- You dream in data models and content associations.
- The people at Roly Poly have your order memorized and greet you by name.
- You have gained ten pounds.
- Your mother even knows what Django is.
- You wake yourself up in the middle of the night mumbling about character counts and asset creation.
- You have started to imagine your Blackberry blinking red when it’s really not.
- Your game face and your rally hat are part of your new work attire.
- You listen to the Rocky theme song on repeat during your morning commute.

You forgot 14: You did an awesome job with 1-13 and now you get all the credit for producing it.
Great job Laura!
I seriously laughed out loud at "Your mother even knows what Django is." Ah, the collateral damage. You did awesome, awesome, awesome!
FWIW, my recaptcha phrase for this comment is "try masseuse". I am not lying at all. :)
Love it! Number 14 for me is that you were gracious and positive throughout. I don't know how you did it.
I'm going to steal the rally cap/game face line. Just so you know.
Thanks for your leadership!
