First day at work

Today was my first day working what some would call a real job. As in 9-5 desk job (or in my case 8-4). I am, as I mentioned before, working on the backend of my employer’s site.  But I am also modifying the frontend to work with said backend :D . Right now the whole thing is encapsulated in 4 files: .htacces, item.php, items.php, and br_db_abstract.php  (br stands for my employer’s name. First one to guess it gets  a cookie!) It’s your average-ordinary-everyday-mod_rewrite+PEAR::MDB2+inline-php-prints. Pretty standard stuff. It’ll list the items in a category (items.php). Display the item (item.php) and allow it to be ordered. The db_abstract is to keep the connection code out of the main PHP pages. Anyway…today went well. Nothing really happened besides that. Just the hubbub of normal work. It’s not like I normally don’t spend most of my day coding during the summer months (only some days! no worries, I’m not a fat junk-muncher). I think I’ll actually enjoy this…
