Grumbling

For whatever reason, I’m so not in the mood for being at work today. Most of it comes down to being inherently impatient – as I’ve written about before – and once I’ve made a decision, I just want to get on and do it, rather than chuffing about waiting for stuff to happen. I’m just not good at it, no matter how much practice I get.

Also, I’m spending a lot of time looking at what’s been done to the system I initially created here. And I don’t like what I see – there’s so much of it that’s now been rewritten (badly) or where the whims of Arsehole Boss are coming through, without the additional insight to know why things were the way they were, or how things work in it.

I suppose I shouldn’t get annoyed about it, but when all’s said and done – and with no false modesty – the system I wrote is bloody good. And the latest version detracts from that – it’s far buggier now, and concentration has been put into making it look pretty. Which basically means we have a very pretty application, which is also inherently buggy.

And when I stand back and look at it, I suppose that’s the case with the entire company – a pretty face for the investors and board, and a bundle of festering shite underneath.
