Changed da house,
Changed da look.
BTW, my bathrobe's usually pink
and we don't have a fireplace.
Other than that,
it's pretty accurate...

~ Snapshot ~
Not much time to blog right now, but just thought I'd fill the space with a snapshot of The Life of Mrs Velle.
Lots happened, apart from getting rejected for 2 hot jobs in quick succession; I got the rejection letters this week, and shredded one with relish this morning. The feed-me-20-pages-at-one-go-come-on shredder at work makes this really satisfying whirr-grind noise as paper goes through it, and I thought there wasn't a more fitting end to that sad 2-line letter of regret.
Without divulging too much about my client, part of what I have to do is set up an online bookstore as both a reseller and a publisher. I am practically doing this alone, although I do get by with a little help from my newfound friends at the workplace. What I've also begun to realise is that there is only so much one can do with Excel as far as database management goes. As of yesterday, I've been creating a comprehensive bookshop database from scratch, replete with purchase order details, history of purchases made by whom, when and how, and all sorts of stuff that frankly make me shudder. There is just so much work to do! I feel like I've gone in over my head with this one well and truly, but I'm telling ya... if I get this done right, if this baby actually works and I manage to create this seeminly massive and rather complex system from scratch - and write codes and macros along the way - I'm gonna feel SO good!
And if I don't, at least I had a real dabble with Microsoft Access. Hurrah for me.
