I work with a bunch of Morons.

The departments website is a fucking mess. Information is just placed where it's convenient, with no real thought about if it's really relevant to the section it's being linked from. Digging around today I've found pages I never knew existed. Important pages. For example, a list of MSDNAA software that's available is linked from the "My Account" area. I'd been looking for this link for months. It should belong somewhere more appropriate like the "Student Area". Or something. Not with a bunch of scripts that are supposed to help you manage your account.

I think it's not an exaggeration to say that most people think the site is very much in need of a reorganisation. When the subject is broached, the justification for not reorganising the website is that people are used to it, so we can't. Even trying to move the above mentioned list is an exercise in futility because "People have to authenticate to view that list" regardless of the fact that they would still have to authenticate, but just from a different page.

These are the same people that automatically reach for the camera any time someone mentions that the site could do with a redesign. They think that putting up some pretty pictures makes it all better. Is this not enough to persuade them otherwise? These are the same people are against any suggestion of change for the better.

To you guys, if you're reading this (and I'm sure that you do occasionally), Go Fuck Yourself.
