Every day, it’s the same.
Fix insane amounts of other people’s fuckups.
Get cryptic email from owner.
Spend an hour interpreting it.
Field at least 20 interruptions from people who know better about things they should know better about.
Give email to at least two other people to get their interpretation. They interpret it completely differently from each other AND from me.
Spend another hour implementing owner’s request as I understand it.
Return to fixing others’ fuckups on other unrelated projects.
Spend at least 15 minutes apologizing to the owner for the part that I misunderstood … the part someone else fucked up in helping me implement it … and getting four more instructions that I’m certain will get fucked up despite my best intentions. Like military time. How do I get all the complicated shit right and yet fucking schedule something at 1500 hours when I knew in my head, heart and soul that he wanted it at 1600?!?!
