long and involved, mostly technical, you won't want to read
Day 4: so, not only did I discover a key function isn't working properly for half my data, but we also found out that we're missing a key field in the incoming file that we need to read the database.
Well, DANG.
So now I have to put together an email stating why I failed to complete the work in the time allotted (because nitpicker guy came to me on Monday with a bunch of purely cosmetic changes which took up half my day - this after I noted that this would probably not be completed in the days I had left a week ago and more).
I'll do a couple of hours tonight, see if I can make any headway in the coding, but the testing on the second interface is going to be a mess - inbound interfaces always are.
In 36 hours, I shall have left my house for the airport, heading for Vietnam. Between then and now, I have a program to complete, a post-mortem to write, a work hand-over to orchestrate, two bags to pack, 1000km to travel, seven little gifts to make, and maybe sneak a couple of hours of sleep in there...
Better get started...
