Mahinda’s Little World

Last week was an absolute nightmare with work - 13-hour days and more, all to meet a deadline…which ended up shifting, as some bugs were discovered at the last minute.

We tech authors/writers are, at the end of the day, hugely dependent on others, usually developers and testers, for the information that allows us to do our jobs. Unfortunately, sometimes that information just doesn’t get there early enough, or is just plain rubbish. When I get told stuff really close to product release time, that I had no way of knowing earlier, it really hacks me off.

Which is probably why I was in such a grump for most of last week.

Unfortunately, no man is an island. Unless he’s standing in the sea. You’re dependent on others, and others are dependent on you. Doesn’t stop you getting stressed, though.

But that’s all beside the point. Grump grump grump.

I was going to write about last (extended) weekend, which featured drinks with housemates, a visit to my old hall of residence, and drunken shenanigans at my works do…but I’ve not had the chance, and I really don’t want to leave this copy of Notepad open on my desktop for yet another day. So it’ll all have to wait until later.
