This is getting silly

  As I've mentioned very recently we are down to the wire with this latest software release at work. However we don't seem to be able to get past the last few bugs. Every time a bug is fixed in a problem area it seems to break something else. 90% of the time it is in one particular system in the software and it is driving me crazy. It is not like the two guys that work in that area are idiots (although one of them is not brilliant he is competent) but it is just so fragile. If we can get that last bit done we are done and the company can make money.

  We have orders waiting for this release ready to be booked as revenue for this quarter, historically our worst since people don't really buy voice equipment in the run up to Christmas. The more frustrating thing is we only realistically have until next week to be done with the lag in final check out testing, pushing through the change order and finally processing the sales orders.

  Anyway, that is my world at the moment. Looking at issues and trying to at least get an understanding of them so the right people can fix them. Very frustrating since I can't fix all this stuff myself and I shouldn't have to.
