Screwed Up Lives
Well… I’ve heard some not so good things concerning some friends of mine this week. It isn’t my business to go into them here but it seems like they aren’t having the best of times right now and that’s really not great. I wish them the best and that’s probably all that I can do in these particular situations.
Other than that, I’ve had yet another exciting and inspiring day at work! ;-) Actually, it hasn’t been too bad recently. We’re gearing up to ship our software in a few months, which means getting ready for beta releases, more end to end test passes and other work involving long hours for me and the people that work for me. Software Testers spend most of their work energy in the middle and the end of the software life cycle. As we get closer to shipping, more and more furious work is done until in a great moment of release, we ship it.
After that, we usually have a few months of glowing recovery while we plan for the next version and the program managers write the specifications of what we are going to do in the next version or we get reorganized into some other project. After we ship the current client, my group is likely to get rolled into working on user stuff for the next version of Windows. This could bring about a lot of changes.
I’ll be meeting the lovely in an hour or so. It sounds like her life has been eventful of late as well. I’m looking forward to attending the Shitro teachings this Sunday though I forgot, again, to call and reserve a seat. I hope that it isn’t full up…
