Old Friends

I ran into a couple of old friends today. Well, ex-work colleagues, actually; Sarah and Hayley. The former has asked me to re-design the website of her boyfriend's company (that I had originally designed for them about three years ago when they first started out), so I went out to their warehouse, and had a brief meeting about it. It was great to see her again, catch up a little, and also to go over the website and update it.

And as it was just across the road from where I (and Sarah) used to work, I ran into Hayley, who still works there, and was visiting Sarah to escape her workload for a few minutes (a tactic I've employed a lot myself). She's off to France next week, for a fun holiday! How cool is that?

Far be it from me to spread gossip, but apparently things aren't all rainbows and lollipops at my old workplace. Of course, I don't think it's a miserable dungeon there either, but it's not quite what they had all been hoping for when they drew up their big plans. Shame, as I certainly don't wish them any ill will, and had hoped that things would go against my misgivings and succeed after all. Still, things may yet turn around.

Anyway, I've started on the new website design for Sarah already, just experimenting with some CSS ideas to see if they'll work, and it's looking good so far. I'm not sure if she'll like my initial design, it does stray from the brief a little bit, but I think it's a good place to start from.
