Well, we wish we could. Or at least install a lock for the door.
It's the last working day before our new site goes live. The site, overall, looks great. There are some sub-pages that need new copy, but it's fine for now. New copy is part of Phase II, scheduled to be completed in January. The main pages have new copy, new content, new features, new art, very chic. We've re-written all the copy that reflects an outdated membership model, so nothing on the site directly contradicts anything else (for once.) And again, it's not only the Friday before Christmas, but the last working day before the site goes live.
So of course, this is the day that my old boss, head of the Member Services department, chooses to flip out over the old copy, demand new copy, and refuse to accept the whole "Phase II" plan.
Now, I'll give her this: in the past, when things have been put off, they have never gotten done. But that's the past. The same team that got this great new site up and running in less than 4 weeks will be doing Phase II. It's on our schedules. We're currently putting together a plan of how to achieve it on time and up to our standards.
But no, old boss must still come in, throw a hissy fit in our office, wave the copy that she wrote (which stinks) around, and insist that it gets fixed today. And yell at the IT team in the hallway. Loud enough for the whole office to hear.
Anybody got some spare pirhanas for the moat?
