it's been nice knowing ya.....

next week is being called "QA lockdown". my boss tends to talk about this job using prison or army metaphors. the other day when he said, "all hands on deck" i asked him if he was a pirate.

so next week, mon-fri, we are being locked up in a large conference room, away from any "distractions" like phones and email. core hours are 8:30am to 6:30pm, but we were told to not make evening plans because it will probably be later evenings. so next week might end up being 12 hours days.

well, i can't bitch because i knew the hours would be like this when i took the job. and i am being paid for the OT. so i shall keep in mind hunter s. thompson's favorite saying: buy the ticket, take the ride.....
