This work was then deliberately broken yesterday. A project was put live with <b>full<\/b> knowledge it was broken. Nice huh, I tell you it really made me feel good. What made me feel even better was I get to now fix this new problem, although I was successful in getting it pulled till fixes could be put into place. <\/p>\n<p>It just seems all so pointless. I feel like I&#8217;m just being ignored, well ignored isn&#8217;t the right word, probably better to say not listened to and it feels shit. I&#8217;m suppose to be listened to, at the very least because of my job and lets face it my not insignificant technical knowledge in that area is a bonus. Fuck it tho, its another example of what is the point.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking back to a previous life, having someone who by every possible definition of the word was incompetent was probably damn good thing for the team. It covered so much, for me anyway. I never noticed anything else and I have to wonder how much of a distraction this situation was for others. I suspect that in the long run it did a lot, and I have to think that is a very bad thing. I wonder how things would have been different. Back then I worked for a company that tolerated incompetence and then some. Good things I moved on from there eh?<\/p>\n<p>Moving swiftly along, on the good news front I am really starting to feel more comfortable on the calls, I still feel out of my depth but that&#8217;s less and less every time. I&#8217;m actually looking forward to some calls these days which I have to take as a good sign. <\/p>\n<p>And finally, I can&#8217;t write. I accept that but you know what, I want to. So I&#8217;m gonna go write some. I doubt you&#8217;ll see it here, certainly a year ago you never would have heard of it but maybe. We&#8217;ll see how it goes. I have an idea that I want to work with and I&#8217;m slowly building on it, its just the actually writing it all out that is the pain so instead of stating more of the obvious I&#8217;m gonna go and give it a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;I want to get off.
