Today’s 3 p.m. sugar fix has been brought to you by Breyer’s vanilla ice cream and A&W root beer! Just about 15 minutes ago, I made myself a root beer float with the ingredients bought by a guy here at work.

I’m so happeee!! :yummy: I :heart: Don Harder.

Top five reasons I like wearing shades
5.  I can outright stare at people without getting caught.
4.  I can put on a pair of shades without any makeup and look halfway decent.
3.  Total sunlight hurts my eyes so the shades cut down a lot.
2.  Those new big shades are very Jackie O.

and the number one reason I like wearing shades.
1.  Because the future is so bright, of course!

I’ve been so busy at work lately. We’ve gotten new clients and just about every department has hired people–every dept except ours.

Right now, I’m working on validating a form using JavaScript and the DOM. A book I got has a really great script for form validation, but it allows empty text boxes; which is not good. I posted on a forum and hopefully someone can help me out, or at least shed some light. Sometimes it’s the smallest detail that you miss because you’re focusing on other stupid small details.

My boss wrote a nice script that will capture any data and create a DB on the fly with XML. So he doesn’t have to write ASP code for each form we create (and we create a lot of them around here; clients LOVE lead captures), but can use this XML one to capture data. But if I can’t validate a form to not have empty fields, it will all be for naught. I don’t want to create a whole new script, the one from the book is great, I just need to figure out how to edit it. It might be the reg exp that the text fields are validated against. But I can’t be sure…

It’ll all work out in the end.

I had this one dream the other day that I’d love to tell you about. It was almost like some kind of romance novel. :tee-hee:

The scenery: a forest, similar to the one in the Harry Potter movies with the lake and everything. Topic: finding a man. Oh, but not just any man, the men in my dream had wings. So I was with this guy and we’d fly around the forest and I thought, “ah, this is love.” Strike that, my guy had an adventurous streak and he’d drop me from high above the clouds. Of course I’m afraid of heights so I’d fall screaming through the clouds and towards the lake where he’d suddenly scoop me up laughing and laughing.
