i worked out it is nearly 3 months since my main computer started messing up. that was a few days after i got over the HD crash. and i still dont have it working!
oh yes, and i have just had a 2 week holiday which i seemed to spend about zero days just relaxing.
this is the second holiday in a row where this happened.
one holiday was full of workmen removing the mad hedge we had, and building a nice new fence. good, but not exactly all quiet and soothing.
and this holiday has been full of workmen replacing the windows in our house. again good, and again not exactly soothing and relaxing.
and today i am back at work. i was given a list of things and asked to test them, since the testing department werent, and as a programmer i was the ideal person. odd, but ok. so, out of these 10 items 8 of them have not been done yet.
management wanted to know what the confusion was. apparently they meant i was supposed to fix the problems they had asked me to test, and i was supposed to understand this from their english when they said in the email "Please test tasks ..."
