Dad Disappointment

eredienI just found out my dad went ahead and got a website design on his own without telling me, when he'd previously asked me to design the site for him. I can understand why he did it, as I didn't have access to my computer for a while and then the laptop died so I didn't have the login info. I'm also glad he finally has his own website, since his main market is college students; at least that got through to him.
I spent several months working on my design and the accompanying video, though, and I wish he'd told me his plans instead of leaving me to find his new website, with a stock photo of some guy and some daughters who definitely are not my family, when I decided to take several hours this afternoon and work around the mouseover animation bug in CS4 that stalled my progress in the first place.
I also find the irony rich. I had to postpone the project for several months to wait for him to give me info for the site, but when I had to postpone the project for several months it was just too long, and I have waited years and years for him to do projects with me. At least he might use the video on his website. Sigh. I should know better by now than to offer to do any kind of project with or for him. He just disappoints either way, and doesn't even have the honesty to inform me when he's changed his mind about intending to work on something long term with him. [Unknown site tag] was right when she said I should have just concentrated on my own stuff instead of doing things for my parents, but I really wanted this site in my portfolio.
At least I am going to a Green Room queer pride picnic this evening.
