lsandersonOne day of work before five days off. Of course, we're releasing a new software version to a client and, as usual, they ain't got the software yet. I don't know why that should surprise me, or they suddenly thought they needed training materials for lab testing a product. (After somebody had said they didn't need training materials, of course.)
Two other minor rush projects and still it seems as if I spend half the day waiting for somebody to tell me how something (which isn't working to my satisfaction) works. Never thought to set a date range out a year when the group I was working with was only going to be in the hotel for one day. Guess that just shows how stupid I am.
Then, there was the command button that magically migrated to it's original screen location if you maximized the windows. The developer and QA thought that was too minor to fix. I sometime shudder about decisions like that when we're peddling a rocket-science product. To me, a total lack of regard for the simple, easily visible things indicates a yawning abyss of crap code in the depth of a product, not the reverse.
