Vacation Kick-off

Just when I was mentally preparing myself to a 1000+ mi. drive to Winnipeg tomorrow: here they are, initial (INITIAL!) GUI requirements for the project, I am working on.
I have a feeling, that I will need all my will power just not to loose it, and let myself off on somebody.
Here is a quote from page 4 (first three merely listed all the topics, covered in the document):

Specific Screen Requirements
Screens shall contain background color, font size and banner displayed in image below.
Screens shall show applicable drill down levels when cursor is positioned over link.
Screen's banner area shall display navigation of current path user is accessing.
Search box shall be available on all screens.

Looks like they already designed everything on the page level. You should see the "image below", ripped out from a PowerPoint presentation. You really should.
Something is telling me, that I will eventually decide not to put this in my portfolio...
I should have not read this article at ALA. Makes me wonder, for how long I will be able to work in the wonderful world of web development without going nuts.
Damn, I need this job...

More Things To Be Mad About

There is no US Embassy in Minsk, Belarus. As a result, people who need to go through an interview for a green card, like my mother, need to go to the nearest city which has one. In good old communist times it would be Moscow, the capital of the whole USSR. The trip there would entail overnight train Minsk-Moscow, spending a day in a city, and overnight train back. No visa required, naturally. Today, despite the fact that old Soviet Union fell apart and old Soviet Republics are separate states, the trip to Moscow would go pretty much the same way. But the wizards at National Visa Center came up with a different plan. Everything my mom needs is done in Warsaw, Poland. Why? NO IDEA. May be it's closer. So my mother had to pay for Polish visa, go through the medical exam they require, wait for ten days to get the visa, go to Warsaw, and all this just to find out that the medical form for her green card is not in a correct format (which was never specified, by the way), and—this is my ...
