Today is going so slowly it hurts. I'm here for another 4 hours. I'm retesting bugs today, and I feel really useless. They said - don't test any bugs having to do with x, y, or z, and of course, most of the bugs have to do with x, y, or z.
Unfortunately, since it's going so slowly, it leaves me with plenty of time to think about my upcoming review tomorrow (at 1)
As far as *I* can tell, I'm one of their top new people. I'm quick, motivated, they can give me anything and I'll do it well, with a minimum of fuss, and of course, it will be correct.
But what if I'm not actually all that fast? Or what if they look at other things, like - we don't like that you didn't laugh at that woman's joke last week? Or we don't like that you're forgetful at times and correct yourself often? Or we don't like that you work so fast? (or something, I don't know)
So I'm a little worried, as you can tell. Perhaps irrationally, but these people so rarely give me any positive feedback.
I am actually enjoying this job, overall. I like that I use my brain to do the test planning, I enjoy thinking in permutations like this, I enjoy creating organization out of the chaos they call requirements. I do enjoy this job. The testing is... ok. It could be worse.
Anyway, I don't want to think about this. I don't want to worry about it, and I DO want to find out I'll be able to get a significant raise in my hourly rate. I don't want to lose sleep over this tonight!! We have a status meeting today at 2, maybe it will break up the monotony a bit.
Tomorrow we're going to see LOTR, finally. On Saturday, we're going to Fabricland to finalize our pattern decisions, and buy them. Too cool! Also on Saturday, we're having two couples over for dinner.
We're making a totally vegan dinner - "Asian Creation", which is merely squash and tofu stir fried with salt and pepper and green onion, and served over pasta, with Braggs and sesame seeds as a garnish., with "Death by Chocolate" pie served with soy milk whipped cream.
Mmmmmm.
We're serving it because it's cheap and easy, but I won't tell them that. :D
Hmmmm. I think I'm hungry.

Date: 2004-01-08 02:39 pm (UTC)I so miss fabricland. I've yet to find a reasonable substitute down here. I found one place that was okay but it was kind of far away.
LOTR, good, yes, go see!
Mmmm, chocolate.
