Oi! Tough break....

I just got handed the same thing... well.. almost the same thing. Some
marketing genius somewhere decided that we need a whole new look/feel on
our new site that we are launching on Friday... However, they don't quite
know what they want the look/feel to be, but they do know that the
deadline can't slip.

Ahh... The joys of being an engineer. At least we have Dilbert to cheer us
up!
