A Web Developer’s Life in FoxTrot

My girlfriend knows that I make websites but not a whole lot more about how I spend so much of my time. She at least knows the basics:

  • Calling me a "webmaster" is the biggest insult you can hurl at me.
  • I'm a MooTools fanatic.
  • I have little design skill but mad programming skill.

That's why I was shocked when she found my life in a FoxTrot comic! Here it is:

It's as if Bill Amend was in my head. Anyone else feel this way sometimes too?

    You should see the follow up strip. It’s even better. (Btw, that’s quite an old strip. I am surprised you see it now.)

    I feel like that just a little too often…

    Please add that calling you an evangelist insults you, too :D

    Eeek. Yeah, that’s about right ;)

    I got my degree in design while learning web development on my own, which eventually evolved into my job now, so I think I have a pretty good balance but I definitely do have to fight off the design-skipping urge sometimes.
