Back to the grind.
Mar. 2nd, 2005 07:42 pmSo I got back to work to find the following things:
1) a couple dozen defects to work through,
2) property file changes out the door,
3) free food served to celebrate a successful process audit (don't ask, it's good)
4) that my team lead, bless her, is having the other MOP handle property files and told me to focus on my defects.
*deflates*
So I spent the entire day trying to figure out what my page processor - part of which had been done by another developer when I got too swamped prior to a build - was really doing.
After 7 hours of staring at it, I finally figured out what was wrong and fixed it.
Only to discover that now something else was wrong, somehow brought on by the other developer's last set of changes.
At that moment, I decided I'd already gotten a credit hour logged and decided it was time to go. (Don't get me wrong, it was actually rewarding in the sense that I figured out what was wrong and fixed it, but it took me way too long to figure out what was up.)
Returned the Philips to Best Buy after work, so again I'm back to VHS recording for the time being. I did see a Toshiba with a hard drive, but the $599 price tag put me off. I'm going to have to do a little more shopping around.
But my VCRs are working fine for now, and since Lost comes on in 20 minutes, I need to prep the tape. And eat my spinach to partly make up for eating dinner out tonight. And do tai chi. And make myself a cup of echinacea tea because while I feel a hell of a lot better, I am not risking a relapse.
Oh, and overheard at today's status meeting:
"When they made me a manager, they removed the bone in my head that requires me to give people a reason." - J
