Been on unpaid leave for six weeks until next year, as a prerequisite to not quitting. I’ll start in a new department. The old department sucked.
Yesterday I got The Call. Tomorrow they have a big presentation, possibly with monetary consequences, and certain things don’t work. You know, 10y tech debt ‘suddenly’ being a problem. So I said fine, I’ll come in to talk about it.
I told them I can try to reimplement the whole module in Python and I might actually finish in time (36h notice or so). Ex boss wanted to stick with the thing that ‘works’, so I left. He didn’t think I could do it, so we’re not even trying.
Had a talk with the caller and told him what happened. He said fine, guess we’ll just fall on our faces, then. We’ve done our part.
A find out for a fuck around makes the whole world FAFO
Ok, but it helps when you are a bigger person than they are.
If you can’t be bigger, be faster. If you can’t be faster, arm yourself. If you can’t be any of those things, consider running.
If all else fails, consider blinding them. You don’t need the power of the sun to achieve the same effect as it.
POCKET SAND!!!
Just increase mass and help them find out
