deadlines, italian sandwich and chicken!

Today was the absolute deadline for a product we are working on releasing the next version of. I got involved in a very simple defect that should have been handled months ago but somehow got dropped. Simple stuff until some anal retentive gatekeeper decided to do his job now instead of 7 months ago when it was originally submitted. I can understand people upholding their standards but 2 minutes before a deadline is not the time for that when you had an opportunity to do it 7 months earlier. I doubt he agrees with me but I am fairly sure that he won't be challenging me in a contest of wills again anytime soon. I make a somewhat blunt impression on people who piss me off.


Breakfast: banana, croissant

Snack: coffee and pound cake

Lunch: Extreme Italian Sandwich

Dinner: rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, corn


Right before bed my niece called me and my dad totaled his truck last night on his way to a fire call (he's a volunteer fireman). Apparently there was a pretty bad storm going on and a lightning strike at a bad time blinded him. I wasn't there so I dunno, but the end result is a dead truck and a slightly beat up dad. ugh...
