Today was another frustrating and generally negative day. The precipitant for all of these bad feelings have been the management/development team/customer anti-love triangle that has been developing over the last two weeks or so. It just seems to have hit a flashpoint over the last few days, and this morning my team lead, CRM, and I got eaten alive by our customers for no particular reason.
That pretty much cemented a foul mood for most of the day, however there was a glimmer of good natured bright light in lunch. I got a chance to dine with the NCB crew and my fellow cohorts and we pretty much made light of the whole deal. I’m sick of having to constantly be in conflict about things that take place external to my workgroup but yet significantly impact it. Its a situation where even if it was in my nature to ignore the problems I couldn’t, because we need the TPS reports signed in triplicate in order to do even the wrong approach to a solution.
All that griping and moaning aside, let it be known that I value my coworkers greatly. Over the last week, I can count three days for sure that lunch has kept me sane. I’m sure more will come and we re-approach launch and the Next Big Thing blows up, but here’s to hoping that the stars align and that doesn’t happen.
