Sometimes it sucks to be me

I know I've been late with updates here but no excuses this time. I've been forced to cut down on activities for a while due to health issues. Fortunately I realized what the symptoms actually were in time, before it got even worse.

What's wrong with me? Well, it seems that I don't say "No" enough. That, and the fact that I take a lot of pride in my work, has been one of the reasons I finally hit the wall, stressed out to the max. But I will solve this, don't worry. I've already quit one very time consuming extracurricular activitiy - I'm no longer a board member in the housing cooperative. Neither will I spend extra hours at work just because management doesn't listen to our status reports and/or warnings. My primary focus is now my family and myself.

So, other than that, it's pretty much business as usual. The participant community still whines a lot, not seldom without good reason but ever so often about things they just don't understand (not calling them dumb or anything, they just don't have all the info). Management still don't fully understand what testing is all about and I find that my colleague and I still are expected to work miracles.

There were some good news for the company last week though, which potentially could mean a lot of improvements for us. But I'll try not to get too excited before I actually can see those improvements with my own eyes.
