Thank God its Friday!

Friday 10:30 am: I am testing the same functionality for the dozenth time. Courtesy Sourface. It is beyond me how people can be so incompetent and get away with it. If it was me, I am sure the universe would have handed out just deserts to me by now. Maybe this guy has really really done something good to someone—cant say what and whom. Long story short, have to test that thing again. No point cribbing. Not like I have a choice about it.

Friday 12:30 pm: Thank God Jonas is in office already. That means an early lunch. Not that I am hungry. Just that lunch with him is immensely uplifting. He is one of those people who never crib—always have a defense argument ready for every bad person. Just one of those rare people who have been blessed with a strangely clean heart. Hard to find today. His only hitch—he never lies. He’s too honest sometimes. But if I need criticism I know where to go. Not that he ever criticizes me (Facebook has established through some freak game that I am as sweet as the cherry…so..well). Just every so often I have this urge to shake him and make him say something bad about someone. I am working on it. Just need time.

Friday 2:30 pm: Testing almost done. And I have an error. Sourface strikes again. Damn . One of these days either I am jumping out the window or pushing Sourface out of it. On second thought, I dont even have the second option. Who will fix the bugs, however screwed up the solutions might be. Whatever. Have to analyse it. Aah! Looks like Sourface has managed yet another escapade. Seems likethere is some inherent issue with the code. (Someone else has written the code obviously. I am trying to figure out how exactly Sourface has contributed to the project—except injecting bugs ofcourse. Realize soon that I have no time to solve that mystery.) I both hate and love dynamic projects. Love them because there is never a dull moment. Hate them because, well….duhh!!

Friday 4:00 pm: I am supposed to support Matthias (who is in Germany) with the testing of the same functionality on the client environment. I don’t mind that I am testing it for the dozenth + 1 time. Its fun. And he is without doubt the nicest, sweetest person I have ever known. Very charming, very helpful, very supportive. And within an hour, we have found an error. Hail Sourface. I report the bug and assign it to someone else. I do not have the courage to assign it to Scarface. And have no more resilience left to analyze it. So I drive home.

Friday 6:00 pm: Hmm….atleast the traffic situation is on my side. I love Fridays. Most people decide to give the office a miss on Fridays. I do not have to shift gears much. Reach home without a scowl.

Friday 7:00 pm: Hard to explain what happens next. I actually decide to analyse the bug I have reported. Maybe I am feeling guilty having assigned it to some poor unsuspecting guy who in all probability had nothing to do with it. I am actually analyzing a self-reported bug on a Friday evening. My social life has reached an all time low. Anyway, soon realize the issue. Post it in the bug comments. But have to wait till Monday for the bug to reach the logical conclusion---state closed. Because no other normal person is logged in to see my comments. Even on the German side, with the 3 hour time difference and all.

Friday 10:00 pm: My favourite show is on. The best part of the day. I go to sleep with a smile now that I have seen the CID team crack some silly case. Hope no one is judging me on my taste in shows. Who cares? I love it, period.
