clientsfromhell:

Two years ago I made a website for a client and implemented a small Content Management System so they can change few things like quotes and references and so on. They didn’t use it at all. Everything on the site was the same for over two years.

Last week I got a call from a new employee of the client’s company asking for “access to the website.” I wasn’t really sure what she meant, but I sent her the details to log in to the CMS.

She emailed me back demanding “full access to all of the content” because she “wants to make more changes to the site.” She eventually asked for access to the server.

I tried to explain why this would be a bad idea but she insisted and told me she knows how to handle “those things.” Eventually I sent her the FTP access data.

Yesterday I got a call from her again.

Client: Did you take the site down?

Me: The site? I haven’t touched it for over two years. So no.

Client: Well, it’s not working!

Me: Did you change anything yourself?

Client: I just deleted all the unnecessary files.

Me: Really. And it’s not working anymore.

Client: No! Did you change something?

she really dodged a bullet. You know what the irony is? She was probably too busy playing mario maker to respond to him.

Just thinking about Garnet and-

bluehalfofgarnet:

-she seems happier. 

Garnet was always stoic and cool (and she still is), but somehow she seems more emotional.

Her smiles in general have gone from this

to this

You can even see the difference from the 1st to 2nd intro.

I know this isn’t a new thing but I was trying to remember when this change happened. 

Jailbreak.

I used to think that maybe it was just because Garnet was under a lot of stress being the new leader and still mourning the loss of Rose… both of which are still true. 

But those two things haven’t changed. 

What has is her relationship to Steven. 

Before Jailbreak. Garnet was hiding a part of herself from Steven. Being a fusion is a large part of Garnet’s identity. Not being open about that part of herself was surly not easy. It reminds me of how I felt before coming out as opposed to now. 

Even if she knew Steven would most likely accept her, Garnet was concerned he wouldn’t understand. The only time pre-Jailbreak where Garnet smiled as brightly as she does now was when she saw Stevonnie.

That was the moment Garnet knew Steven would understand.

…Just rambling on now XD
