| 00:00 - 00:05 | So I joined this project in June... they tell me.."Hey, you're working with us." |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | "Time to move to the project.. it'll be easy.." |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | "Come on let's go.. it'll be an easy project" |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | They don't tell me what it's about.. just something about capturing requirements.. and helping to manage scope... |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | 7 months later I'm still on this god damn thing with no end in sight... |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | Eddie too... |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | Eddie too... |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | I've been writing requirements for 7 months but can't tell you one thing about them... |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | It's true...! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | We meet with the development team almost every day for 6 hours daily and none of us know what's happening... |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | We just wing it half the time and Eddie provides color commentary... |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | And then occassionally mentions a few things about a checkbox while I give tool tips... |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | You know development's thinkin'.. |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | "What the hell is wrong with these guys?" |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | They're thinkin'.."Please God let this end!" |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | "I can't take anymore!!" |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | 7am every day... |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | my calendar says I have nothing... |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | 5 minutes later my whole day is filled with meetings from development! |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | I'm thinking to myself... how did they add all of these invites so fast? |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | In five minutes I went from.. |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | nothing to a full schedule of meetings.. |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | So then we try to go through UAT a few months back... |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | to.. you know, test the system from a user standpoint.. |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | Then in the middle of the testing.... |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | this guy pings me and basically says: "This thing sucks!" |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | I'm not sure what |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | you guys did to this thing but it's horrible.. |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | So we reach out to the guy that has oversight of the testing... |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | and he tells us.... |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | he says..... |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | "It's only 60% ready..." |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | And we're like - why the hell did you |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | give the green light for testing if it's only 60% ready??! |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | Apparently his boss was stuck in Canada in a Visa process... and he couldn't get a hold of the guy to tell him to not start it...!!! |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | Did he make it back? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Yeah, about 3 days to late.. |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | He said "I won't be going to Canada again anytime soon..." |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | and we were like..... |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | we were like, "For the love of everything that's good - please don't" |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Do you think you'll be done soon? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | I thought I was going to be done about 6 months ago.... |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | but then the thing just took on a life of it's own and kept going... |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | who knows when it will end.. |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | probably never!! |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | They'll just leave me on this thing forever.... |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | My entire life will just be meetings with development, UAT Issues, and tool tips... |
