I am honestly starting to

I am honestly starting to lose my patience with supervisor/coworker lady. She's the one who ultimately decides how the website I'm working on, you see. The layouts I'd pulled out the last few days had met her approvation, so I went and finished them, she told me I should. Now, out of the blue, because she's seen a website that she likes (it's "cute", in her words), she decides to play designer, and tell me that I should change basically everything, change the font I used all over the layout, change how the navigation is done, etc. XO And this basically means that I have to redo design elements that took me an hour each, from scratch, because the font she told me to use is wider than the one I'd used and so they don't fit anymore. XO And it's absurdly fucking ugly, too. It doesn't fit the layout at all. I'd spent an hour going through all 700+ of the fonts I have to pick the perfect font for the layout, and what does she do? Play designer and pick a font that I'd not even considered because it's too wide and too linear, especially when used bold (which she wants me to do). (The font in question is President. Similar to Papyrus, if you've seen it. If not, you aren't missing anything, believe me. Papyrus is pretty decent, President took all the good characteristics of Papyrus and chucked them away, for what I could see. And neither fits in the layout.) XO Oh, and she wants me to replace font I'd used on the navigation menu, Silkscreen, with... Comic Sans MS. Comic Sans MS. Aaaaaaaargh. XO I hate people who want to play designer but have no clue what they're doing. XO

And how much do you want to bet that when I'm finished with the changes she won't like them anymore?
