Too Little Time
I’m really, really feeling the time crunch coupled with intense boredom and major creativity block. There’s simply not enough hours in the day. My 7:20 AM to 3:30 AM (that’s right 3:30 AM) days are starting to hurt.
I think my creativity block has a lot to with being forced into copying large amounts of elements from other sites for a straight year now. So now, I almost feel as though I can’t think on my own. I see it trickling down to other creative things that I do. I’ll spend time looking at what others have done then end up with something that looks like a mish mash of whatever it is I saw that day.
Web design wise the other thing that hurts me is knowing CSS. I always start by thinking of it in terms of what CSS can and can’t do or what I won’t do because I’m still supporting IE6.
But on the up side this thing thinks I look most like Trya Banks.

I feel your pain!
I just spent three hours trying to find a hack to fix an IE bug and then came back to your site to use our moo accordion in place of the widget that was giving me trouble. I Look at it this way, in a few years when everyone is using IE 7 or 8 and everything works the same across all browsers, any new designer will not have to learn the code as intimately as we have had to in order to correct for IE6. I never would have delved as deep as I have into CSS ,had it not been for IE6. Anyone designing and coding for the web now is going to more versatile than anyone coming onto the scene in the future.
Optional Bonus Question:Do you know why an accordion(yes, DW spry accordion) would make the accordion stay open , but only when it is in my work’s CMS, but not when it is a straight html page? Oh and of course this is only a problem in IE6, in the CMS. Go figure!

Actually, what it does is when the page loads, all tabs are open and if you click one, it starts to close but keeps popping open.
