This excerpt from Steve Krug’s keynote presentation at HighEdWebDev 2005 just made my morning (via Collegewebeditor.com):

Top 9 reasons why it s*cks to be you

1. Corporate expectations in a non-profit budget
2. Stakeholders who can be petty and whiney in ways that wouldn’t dare in the real world
3. Find and implement a CMS in your spare time, and herd kittens into using it
4. Sub-site/fiefdom hell: We want our dept/school/project to have its own character
5. Multiple audiences
6. Homepage death match
7. Deans less likely to force everyone to the site-consistency line than CEOs
8. Tons of dynamic content of variable quality and enormous importance — to its creators
9. Cool-factor arms race to stay competitive

Seems like number 3 is my task for today…
