my day job

Sometimes, it's easier to let someone else explain my job. This article from the NYTimes talks about what usability professionals do for the web.

countdown

This is the last week one of my coworkers is here before she leaves for a nice 3 week vacation and then goes to work for an interactive design agency. Very envious, especially of the vacation part.

I'm quite tired today -- yesterday, I spent the whole day at a forum for large companies who work on Intranets -- it was fantastic -- only about 25 people there so a nice small group where you could really discuss issues. Then, a quick break, and that evening, a visit to my monthly usability professionals meeting, which was followed by dinner with the group. I got a chance to meet a lot of interesting people and got some very good leads on future opportunities. Just a great networking day -- but after all that, I'm feeling pretty drained. Despite my attempt to sleep in, I only managed an extra 30 minutes.
