Mammaries...like the corner of my mind...
Since I'm awake I'm going to make a note of what happened on Monday:
I told my bosses NO. Like, five times in a row. It was wonderful.
It was another last minute demo thing of course. They could have used an existing piece of demo software that the hardware manufacturer had for the exact purpose that they needed. They were just going to show how the hardware worked, nothing to do with what we do as a software company. No, it wasn't good enough, they needed something with our logo on it. In about a day's time.
So I said NO, that I refused to do it. Not just because it was idiotic, but mainly because they've been pulling this bullshit on me for the last four months or so. I have had enough.
Naturally they got someone else to do it. My boss in this matter is not currently under the good graces of our (current) CEO. So even explaining how mind-boggingly retarded this was to the CEO is beyond him. This isn't the first time this situation has occurred, and I'm the one that has to shoulder the burden every fucking time.
I'm curious what the future repercussions from my little rebellion will be. To my bosses credit, he understands how I feel (being a developer himself many years ago). He told me they are going to hire a couple of demo developers to do this work. When this will happen (if this will happen) I don't know. Until then I'm curious to see how these "emergencies" will be handled in the future. I don't believe I will remove my hip waders any time soon.
Anyone in need of an experienced Java coder to do software development?
