Times A Changing
2005
When your dealing with a job that is based in technology you can always expect it to change every day. A programming job has a life of it’s own and sometimes I don’t agree with it. I love programming and networking but I hate the constant changing of minds on what really needs to be done to get the task at hand complete. Sometimes the end of the day is eons different than the start of the day.
I have been working on a program that would deliver online classes to registered students, a Learning Management System (LMS). I have gotten around 60% done with it when I get the word that we are going to change directions…aaaahahhhh….that means that everything that I have wrote up to this point will probably never be used. I have not figured out how to deal with this very well yet. Working for industry this would be a major NO NO…wasted time and energy equals wasted money to the company. But, working for the State of Texas this is just something that happens, sometimes daily. I am having trouble getting used to this. I guess that I just need to shut up and go with the flow. There are some of you that can relate, I bet. Casey should really know what I’m talking about being that he works for the federal government.
Nothing is ever perfect…especially a job.
