*sigh*
Just what is the point, I work flat out for a week trying to get this piece of code together for client four and what happens; TMCM decides to change the spec. The work I’ve done is signed off and in the system, now I have to pull it all out and start over. Scooter says that it’s all going to be in the plan, but somehow I doubt it and guess who’ll be paying for that one.
Now working for two clients at the same time, more work for client four. I can slip exactly the same code in for client six and will it get noticed, nope.
Think that’s the last straw, I’ve started to look about. Unfortunately, there’s not much out there at the moment. That is apart from working for a Bank and I don’t really want to become a banker again.
LSW has had a letter from the taxman, they’ve screwed up her tax again and so she’s stressing out. They’ve taken an extra £70 off her because they say they haven’t had the payment. I know they have and I’ve even got the receipt, so guess who’s got to phone the b*gg*rs up and get it sorted? Been put on hold three times today, they’re almost as bad as the banks.
Anyway, if you want to know about Internet Flame Wars, there are two fantastic ones occurring on the net at the moment. There is the infamous Derek Smart, this flame war has been raging for seven or eight years about the game Battle cruiser/ Universal Combat. Stalking, Lawsuits and Fraud are all involved at this point so it’s good for a laugh.
The other one, still staying on a sci-fi theme, is this new version of Battlestar Galactica. Bloody hell, you haven’t seen so many fanatics get in a flap since they killed off Captain Kirk. It’s very entertaining to watch though.
Just finished chapter seven on the short story and sent it off to the proofreader. Unfortunatly this leaves the most difficult chapter to write because it involves a very popular charcter and if you get it wrong, you are crucified by people who hold this character very high regard.
