if looks can kill

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Just got out of a really frustrating meeting and now I have a thumping headache.

My request for my team got bumped off the top priority and will not be done until tomorrow morning. I understand why it so, but when the person said sorry to myself, I felt even worse. I *think* I smiled and shrugged but knowing how bad I still feel about it, I looked either sad or mad.

The thing that’s really bugging me is I should have caught this problem before. I keep banging on about data-driven testing, parameter-ised test scripts but my review focused solely on test scenarios. I kept my faith on the members to implement the framework we talked about, I didn’t check it myself.

Now it’s biting me on the ass. And it hurts.

Maybe I really have ESP because is the sort of thing I fear most, and the reason why I wrote this.

I know we need to correct our current implementation once and for all. My call is to continue with what we have for the week and spend a couple of days next week correcting this mistake.

For now, I am going to take another paracetamol and I am going home where my husband can soothe my aching heartd.

Got home and found out my monthly visitor’s just arrived… So that’s why I’ve been loony the last couple of days.
