Sleepless nights, and sleep filled days

Not really but anyway, two weeks in and I seem to be going pretty good at my job. My direct superior seems happy with my work output and the quality of my work. So far I've only been creating websites, and doing domain transfers and other complicated net type junk. Soon I'll be programming blackberry things, as in I follow a list of instructions to set one up, without actual programming involved.
Toughest thing is the last two hours of the day at the moment, I pull my school thing, where I start looking at the clock every five or so minutes, of course I've found the best way to eat up time is to busy myself with work.
I have a phone...that is still in its box, a laptop with a broken screen that took half of the first day to setup as we could only use one quarter of the screen, and somehow its ability to switch to another monitor had been switched off, plus I have a wireless keyboard and mouse. So far I think I've completely finished three websites, though one was more, "yeah, give it here and we'll finish it on our own"(meaning the client finished it themselves) The next required me to go through about eight or so minor changes that took several hours, until they were finally satisfied, and the latest one they took one look at it and went "yep, put er up!" which made me exceptionally pleased with myself.
I have another eight or so websites all waiting for feedback, and or more content, one wanted a six page website, and only gave me a single picture of their front page and a map of where their place is, not a lot to go on, unless they want me to start making things up about them :P.
On the comic and drawing front, I'm slowly moving to the main storyline of the comic, at the moment, its introducing the main character somewhat, and explaining the situation he finds himself in, for pretty much the rest of the comic. I've found I have some problems with proper pacing and the flow is somewhat off especially in the earlier pages, I think I'm starting to get more of a flow happening now, key word is think. This week I have something of a breather in that the next two pages don't require much in the way of my efforts for drawing them. I'm still planning eventually on fixing the Sandhurst Academy portion of the site to make it more user friendly, easier to navigate between pages that sort of thing. Plus a colour job I think suits the comic. I've also bought a bunch expensive colouring pens, and so far have coloured in three drawings, one a full body picture of an angry Dao wielding Eledor, another of a ninja girl named Motoko, and another of Emily, Eledor's daughter, a lot younger then what I normally write her as.
On the games front, I've bought World of Warcraft again...yeah I know, but to be fair, nothing else is all that interesting at the moment that my computer has any chance of running, i can't be bothered buying a PS3 or Xbox 360, and no new decent storyline games have come out recently on the Wii. I finally hit lvl 70 with my Pally though.
And I think that covers my lot in life at the moment, if you got through all that, good for you, help yourself to the non-existent buffet or something :P

Anywho Sayonara folks!

Dude, you should use your 133t programming skills to improve your website.

You should make it so when I click on your website the very first thing I see should be your latest comic page. Cos I am like totally sick of having to click so many times. My poor friggin clickin finger.

Sadface :(
