Hello, my name is Sharon - and I am a lurker. I search for posted topics to pilfer the best answers and save my computer from a grizzly death (usually just saving my head after beating in on a brick wall several times - but I am used to that after dealing with management). After so many helpful answers that have improved my skills to that of knowing enough to be dangerous - I figured I would say hello, and prevent any of the posters from being victims of my newbie coding wake.
And now... the traditional questionnaire - I shall try and answer seriously (NOT)

Favorite TV Shows: oh wow, TV - I really miss Babylon 5, Star Trek (TNG), I guess I can include the cartoons - Dexters Lab, Pinky and the Brain, Finneus & Ferb (sp?- not up to googling it atm).
Stuff you Dislike: Management asking "is it done yet?" after just giving me the file (yeah, sure - let me get my time machine... ), people who don't know the difference between designing and developing for a website (like I said, I only know enough to be dangerous on the coding end - but can design well for it. When given the time - see dislike 1), semi-trucks (work near truck stop - after a while, dealing with semi's gets old), whoever the person was that pushed that shopping cart in my car and left the dent.
That's it, and now - back to the freelance I have been procrastinating.
