WTF

So for the amusement of some malicious deity (that i could care less about, and don't believe in anyway) I have been tasked with building the server side scripts for a polling system. This actually is something that i played with FOR FUN awhile back with BlogVote.com. It never really went anywhere cause i'm a lazy sack and didn't do enough work to push it along. ANYWAY... back to the malicious deity. Somebody in some place of power is laughing because i've gotta write all this script in ASP!!!

If this was PHP it would have been done in an hour. But no way. The client needs it in ASP, and eventually needs it to work with ORACLE. Talk about overkill. anyway, thats the job. But hold on, this isn't my fuckin job. That's the way it goes I guess... This week i get resourced programming ASP scripts with ACCESS database backend when what i should be doing is the ActionScript and Flash animation and a really nice XML parsing system. Oh, i forgot, we're not talking about 1 or the other. This week i get to do both. Lucky Me. Osiris or Ra or some demented fuck is laughing.
