I keep finding showstopping bugs in acceptance testing.
In a build that was initially to be installed tomorrow. But is now next monday.
I just can't.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And my work laptop has died. Well, not died so much as refusing to function. I'm getting speeds of dialup or less, and I can't even access my work sites. So, off to overnight the thing back to the mothership. No work for me today! No problem. Sure. Not like I'm going on vacation in a week.

Goddamn I am in the wrong business.
I have reached the point where I am absolutely convinced my boss is trying to get me fired. She says one thing in a verbal meeting, I follow up with action items as agreed, and she emails (copying Big Boss) in a panic saying what am I doing this isn't what we agreed to.
I have also reached the point where I sincerely *hope* she is trying to get me fired, because then I would get severance and I wouldn't have to work her anymore.

Sounds like it's time to take notes in verbal meetings and ask her to initial them.

You don't really want to not have a choice about getting fired. From now on when your boss gives you verbal instructions, immediately send her an internal email confirming the instruction. If she then sends an email to her boss panicked, forward the email you sent to that boss.

or, what Connie said is even better, But if she refuses to initial then follow up the note with an email

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Jess! Hope it works out for the best.
You too, Zen. And sarameg, except I don't have so much hope for your install at this point.
All right, I have purchased or ordered everything I am getting for the December holiday of their choice this year, I think. Oh, right, except my co-workers. Maybe I can knock that out this weekend, if not after work one day this week, it'll be small stuff and can be pretty much the same for everyone (other than my secret santa who gave me no clues, dammit)

Big Boss is totally in her pocket, is the problem. I'm going to set up a meeting with HR instead. (But even if HR promises to keep it confidential, if she gets called in and told not to be a fucking psychopath anymore, she's going to know I'm the one who complained, because everyone else on our team is an outsourced freelancer. So basically I'm screwed until I get another job.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yikes, Jess. Good luck.
