One of the testers, in trying to do a performance test on our system, came up across a particularly nasty and elusive error we've been trying to track to its source for months, but the developers can't duplicate it in a controlled environment. But the tester can, and has--repeatedly. So much so, that he can't complete his performance testing.
Whereas in my env, operations comes up with a nasty and elusive error but test cannot replicate in and I get to bang my head together with the developers all the while with a nasty error.
I feel your pain.
My niece just posted pics of her summer. She was, apparently, in New York for Fleet Week. As part of the fleet.
I asked the developer here in which sections of the site they put the trace code, if it's not any of the places the tester hit. Dunno. Uh, which places was the offshore developer trying to reproduce the error? He does some mighty aimless clicking between screens on his computer. Dunno? Over here mostly?
So I just finished going through the first half of the trouble tickets, and I can only hope those are the errors the offshore developer was trying to duplicate and that's what he's tracing, because that's what I gave the tester, and tomorrow is GODDAMNED BATMAN DAY.
One more status report, and I can leave...I can do this...who makes me do two status reports in one day? That's no fair...and technically it's three because I wrote one at six this morning.
IO9 had a "Wear Batman fashion to work" article. Which omitted the belt buckle I'm wearing today, so there's now a selfie adorning their crack journalism.
Okay, 1 hit of tumblr, then status report, then home. Oh, look! Company jellybeans!
what types of work would you all have a daily helper do, say you had to fill 3 hours of work a day.
Thus far I have:
grocery shopping - 1 hour/week
iron 5 outfits/week - 1.5 hour/week
cooking - 1 hour/day
fold laundry - 1 hour/week
vacuum - 30 min/week
sweep - 30 min/week
dishes - 30 min/day
I'm going to go with dragoon. It sound piratey.
I used metonymy in my final status report, and not even strictly correctly. If I get called on it
and
corrected, I will do a fist pump of being properly one-upped. Otherwise, I have to do something to make me feel better about still being here and still going through emails. Almost done, though. Just have to do the Out Of Office prep.
Dusting, for sure. Unless that's covered in vacuuming.
I would vacuum or sweep every day if someone else were doing it.
Ooh, a daily helper? I'd have them vacuum 30 min every other day, but we have animals. What about dusting? Watering garden? Mopping (I HATE mopping)? Cleaning fridge, once every two weeks.
