    Probably within reason
    I cannot apply for a job in London.

    Most things are better, my stress level is back at 100% due to another engineer randomly changing his code and breaking a test program that I haven't touched in five months written in a language I barely understand and it's keeping us from shipping product.

    I'm really starting to hate working here, a whole lot.

    That's not good. Life becomes quite unbearable when you hate your job. It's where you spend a third of your day, it wears on you. I hope you can relieve the situation somehow.

    ...it's even worse when you hate the job and the commute to get there as well, trust me.


    Speaking of jobs, another interview on Friday. Need to find someone with a phone as it is a preliminary telephone interview. A good sign perhaps that things are befinning to pick up?


    ....crikey half my day slept away. Was up late working on story related stuff.


    Hey big sale today, G2 Morph Bundle is 60% off plus I can take another 1$ off anything I buy (save for PC/Value items). Also have my August PC 6$ coupie which will make it 9$ and change.

    it was windy today. wow. will go play outside tomorrow instead.

    i tried to play an MMORPG on my dad's dual core Pentium computer. The Intel HD 4000 chip is too slow. lol. Apparently the HD 4000 is built for watching movies and videos instead of for playing new games. guess i'll go save some money to buy a $65 video card for my computer.

    *** START LONG RANT ***

    The job situation is one of those "You kicked butt so now we give all the hot problems to you" affairs. :-S

    I found a ton of bugs in a product that shipped for over a year, fixed them all in a couple of weeks, everyone is happy.. THEN they have a new product they needed to ship in 2 weeks so I did that.. THEN they had this Perl code tester that nobody knew or understood, so I got that.. and this other project that I got because the person doing it was needed on something else.

    So now I have 4 concurrent projects, only one of which is in sustaining mode (no new features, just bug fixes).. 3 hot projects that are all Priority 1. :blank:

    So on occasion, all 3 hot projects hit at once. That's this week.. things were going good until one of my co-workers made radical changes to his code to fix bugs and broke the mysterious Perl test code AND the product they needed in 2 weeks is acting weird in the field (d'oh, it's BETA and we had no QA but me on it) AND the third project had a sudden rush ffor BETA units.. all since Monday. :blank:

    *swills beer, takes a vodka shot*

    The surprising thing is that I haven't crashed and burned in either abject failure from overload or blown a gasket and walked off the job (only did this once, when I was lied to about the work, and my agency agreed and found me a new contract). Maybe it's the vitamins, maybe it's that the ONLY stress I have is work stress, or the meditation.. no idea. :-S

    It's all temporary, though.. I got the stupid BETA products to the salesdroid, the field test I tried to repro the problem and it worked fine, told the product manager, who 1 hour later emailed me :uhm, never mind". The tester thing is still super-hot because it's a stop ship of this bozos new code, but I know kind of where the issue might be and tomorrow I'll just jump back on it.

    BUT.. I'm getting seriously tired of being the clean-up batter and the firefighter when none of the regular employees has the courage to pick up the slack. :coolmad: My boss has told me, to my face, that nobody else was willing to even TRY fixing some of this stuff. And they had 2 borderline incompetent engineers for 3 years, and those products they worked on are barely teetering along (well, except the 3 I fixed already).. and I know that there are more landmines ahead. And my patience with idiocy DOES have a limit.

    We don't need best practicex in software engineering,but we need to have DESIGN and TEST time.. we have one QA guy who is dedicated to .ONE project, so it's on the engineers to do full QA before it goes into acceptance test (which isn't QA). FFS, my boss keeps asking for more people but the Powers That Be are happy with getting a pile of returns, because somehow, we sttill manage to make a profit. But the word is spreading and we're losing sales because of crap coding and products that ship broken.. so who knows. Maybe it'll change before they fire my boss.. dunno.

    The only upside of this pustulent, necrotic, oozing pile of feces is that nobody blames ME. From the manufacturing manager to the production supervisor and her people, they think I'm a freaking superhero. Which is bad, because I'm not in the top 5% of engineers out there.. aybe top 15%.. I'm good, I know I'm good, but I'm not all that. :-S Still, it's nice to be told "I don't blame you for this, but I'm glad you can fix it in days and not like who used to take 2-3 weeks to fix a bug." :blank:

    It could be worse. I could be out of work with no unemployment, no savings, and nowhere to live. But they literallyu can't afford to lose m or none of this stuff would ship, and then it would hit the fan for sure. So it's good and bad..

    I keep telling myself I'm never going to let on that I can multitask like a girl (lol long story there) but I feel a responsibility to my employer - they hired me to make it happen, so I'm going to make it happen.

    *takes a shot*

    There are other factors that have upped my stress level involving a girlfriend from about 30 years ago, I won't bore you with the details, it's stupid and complex and I believe I have dealt with it in an appropriate fashion.

    *** END RANT ***

    I hope everyone has/had a great Hump Day! I have sage sausage cooking and it smells like Heaven here! :coolsmile:
