i did something incredibly stupid- i agreed to do a favor and add some
updates to an iditarod mushers website so that his current
(non-professional) webguy could ride along the trail taking pictures and
sending news.  The site is ugly, and unprofessional, but I figured I would
just pop content into existing pages so no big deal.

As it turns out the pages, nor navigation isnt' set up.  I am getting
information from the mushers horribly nasty mother, his wife, the webguy and
his wife and all kinds of friends.  I am supposed to sit at a pic waiting
for their every whim to come via email and instantly it should be posted,
although there is no  place created for it to go, and it needs to be
converted from excel or some such crap.  The mother has sent a billion
updates with nasty nitpicking changes about the site (for example she sent
THREE emails in the period of an hour complaining we called her the
"iditamom") and has NEVER said anything nice - just said that she isnt'
criticizing (SURE she isnt'), just offering suggestions (MY ASS).

I was told I could have whatever I wanted in exchange for my services.  I
think i should ask for a dog or their first born kid or something?

Moral of the story:  Never do volunteer work for someone elses mother  -
dealing with my own mother is bad enough
Vent finished.  Thank you for listening.
