This is not a pain worth healing

Like the T-bird, I used to miss the intensity that I subscribed to in my former life. Alas, that has all changed. It all started with the job.
Amid this minor discussion and Saki's comment, I decided to explore further what DKT was all about. Let me step back.
Back in July or so I took a trip over to Siwa with a bunch of trainees, Adham, and this random Asian American dude. Turns out this guy is working for this org called DKT and is launching a condom brand in Egypt. I found it quite interesting, but never took it further.
Snap back to last week.
After perusing their website and a minor exchange of emails, I set up a meeting with the Egypt country director of DKT. Real straight shooter. A southern guy, he says stuff like "fuck that" and "that just blows" and likes whiskey on the rocks. I liked him. We talked for two hours on various topics like "wicked" math problems (good thing I just took PDE's), ditching crappy innovations, and finally we got around to what DKT does. Long story short, I got a job with DKT Egypt.
I'd link to their website, but this is all they got. I'm designing the rest.
This is the point where I ask my dedicated readership to lend me some help in the form of links to resources teaching me how to design websites.
That was last week. I start next week. This organization seems super sweet and I really dig its model of operation. It's the kind of work I've been gunning for. I won't get paid, but I'm looking for returns of a different nature. Let's see where it takes me. I guess I owe Saki something for her part in this twist of fate...
On top of that I will be a Faci at the upcoming national conference for Egypt, coming in 9 days. I have three days to design my 2 or 3 sessions. Nescafe sales should increase significantly.

Mike, congrats. Now we'll be getting condom reports from the homefront. Huzza to random connections and ponderances.

dturk, you can get free sample condoms from Trojan and Durex websites.
