Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I hope nothing dramatic happens until July at least, Dana.

Least bad option~ma for your elections, Shir.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sounds like it's still worth it to hang on by your fingernails until June, then. But getting your resume in order now sounds like something you could do to give your nervous hindbrain something to chew on.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Or I could not do any of the work I'm supposed to be doing and instead spend my entire day reading fic! That's totally viable, right?

It's practically health-related!

Our wings are not tired.

Valid option. Speaking of which, I am really over the whole working thing today so watching recorded tv is the best plan now.

Coding and Sleeping

Job~ma Dana.

I'm leaving my current job Friday. Got something new lined up and I have a real positive vibe about it. Just have to get through one more week. Actually, it hasn't been too bad for the most part since my team lead was on another project for three weeks, but he's back and trying to make my life difficult. He pretty much objects to everything I do. Things like having too many comments in my code, or documenting an API. Now it's the code I'm checking in isn't in small enough chunks. Ya-know, I can't just change one little bit and not fix all the stuff the change breaks just to make things smaller.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Good luck with the new job, Gud!

Gud -- I guess congratulations on the new job? I'm GLAD you're leaving this toxic team lead in the dust, because I can tell from your quick description just how it's going down.

Not to mention that "too many comments" is nearly impossible to achieve. Seriously, I bless any previous programmer who left me useful clues and to be discouraging it is bad. manage. ment..

That's good news, Gud. Screw that guy.
