Two new ones on the work front..

Jefe pointed to the board that has our 'to do' items on it... the ones that are tracked in our system.. that was built to track bugs. Well now they are on a bulletin board as well.. when we finish one w are required to cross it off with a highlighter. WTF? Today she mentioned that we are "not to test her" and "there will be consequences". Wow. All I could think of was a bugs bunny cartoon with some general rattling his sabre in the air. Ha. Jefe cracks me up.

Oh Falloutboy. How much it must suck to be you sometimes. As I slunk into the office this morning Falloutboy had some interesting news. It seems, from direct sources, that he should watch out around Jefe because she doesn't like him. Nothing new there... but really? The flipant information made it clear Jefe was talking to someone about Falloutboy.. and throwing out her displeasure with him. Wait.. didn't she indiciate she never talks bad about anyone? Oh - that's right. That was from the infamous "you two cannot go out on breaks together" discussion. Strange.

I wonder what she says about me?

I had to gut and redo some computed columns in my VB.NET dataset. Yeah.. that's not fun. On the plus side I was able to crash Visual Studios because of it! Huzzah!

After a few months of searching someone at KOS found me. Well one of my online nexi. It's only a matter of time they connect the dots and find me here.

*sigh*

What have I done? Ha!

Sweet! I get to have lunch with legal minds! Huzzah!

One of the nicer perks of my job is I can work from home. It's a bit more annoying (since I am forced to work off a 19" crt at home versus the two 24" wide screen lcds at work), but it's a nice break in routine. Now I am rocking out to some groovy music to code to - specifically the artist Annie's cd 'Annimal'. Clever.

It seems nebraska is going to be the new haven for orphens and unwanted children. Kinda like an island for misfit toys, but in this case the toys are children that should be put to work as a official wards of the state. Orphanariaums are not free ya know! This of course is all based off the 13 year old michigan boy tossed off a Creighton University's door. That's right folks. Come for the corn, leave sans kids!

More action plans! w00t!

Day two of Falloutboy's near break down at work from the riggors of Jefe. I believe the quote from yesterday was "the angry monkies are swiming around in my head". Yeah.. he's going on snap on Jefe!

Jefe has decided to tighten down the thumbscrews on my buddy Falloutboy. She wants daily emails from him regarding what he worked on that day. WTF? He is also the only one that got the email indicating this. No reason why. No explaination. He sent an email back saying 'okay, but why?'. A much delayed response from Jefe and it boils down that she doesn't believe he is doing work! In fact in yesterday's standup meeting when it got to Falloutboy who indicated he worked with meeting? over some report Jefe turned to meeting? and had him verify Falloutboy was doing some work with him. Wow.. Really? Another set of emails last night between Jefe and Falloutboy, and now... now Falloutboy is considering just leaving. Shit fuck. That would be bad not only from a point of losing my buddy at work, but team moral and the project deadline. Jesus freaks Jefe!? Do you want this project to fail?

We shall see how the day unfolds.

Meeting? you have managed to not listen to me or grasp the mildly complex nature of our reporting service reports. You fail at setting their default paths, you fail at cleaning out default values, and you fail at NOT VALIDATING THE CONTROL and just hard-coded it to true.

I am disappointed but I am not surprised.

No, this isn't about the economy (though it should be), but another example of the moderate-fail of Jefe.

Work is going well today. There was a semi-nasty gram email from jefe today (and also one yesterday), but I refuse to let it get me down. Not to mention she probably meant it for one of the Mercs...
