:: Life of a software engineer, and now a program manager ::

Sometimes I wonder why some guys can be really a pain in the a**. Tried helping the mommy-boy, but if he wants to jump into the sea and kill himself, there's not much that I can do. I arranged for a colleague to fetch him back to KL, and mommy-boy agreed at first. But last minute he pulled out! I felt like as if all my efforts are in vain, futile, and of no use. Then he might as well tell me yesterday that he doesn't want to follow. What a jerk! Sigh, no use talking about useless people.

Integration work done, although I had to go thru the hassle of checking and verifying that each variable is assigned correctly...he even changed the variable names in a newer revision! Seems to me that I'm the integrator and validator...
Tomorrow is the due date, I really don't know what to pass up, a pre-alpha version? Maybe this is the best way, since I know that it is so unstable that it will crash any minute.
Stress at work, plus stress from my housemate, can really make me go crazy.
Ever seen a mommy-boy?

Today has been a really bad day for me. My manager who does not know the naming convention of coding, tries to be smart and names the functions himself. And when I integrate, it all turns up crappy. And he delays the release date, but who will think that it's the manager's fault? All the blame will be on me, I'm 100% sure. Sigh...such is life..
