people never failed to amaze me

We had a very interesting staff meeting this afternoon. Cannot believe some of the things that I heard. These people don't even understand the fundamental difference between unit, functional and integration testing. Here are some of the bizarre things that I heard today:
1. they expect the Business Analysts to understand and have a working knowledge on other systems that we interface with.
2. they expect to have a ready environment from the systems that we interface with to test starting unit testing.
3. they expect to have production access to our own system
4. they expect to have production access to the other systems that we interface with

Mind you, these are very senior staff. I truly am amazed at how these people get hired. I blamed that on old management. One word: Unbelivable!!!

Finally, it's Friday. I have been waiting for today since Monday basically. Not that it's a particularly trying work week, but I am just tired. Have not been sleeping well. Waking up frequently during the night. Not getting a restful sleep. -0

i love this photo

I was browsing Betterphoto.com, and came across this picture.

The photographer won the Grand Prize in the photo contest. Not only is he talented, but he has so generously explained his techniques. I wish one day I could take picture like this. Not sure even how to proceed. Too many things to learn. Need a methodological way to practice. Just not sure how.

恭喜發財!

Today is 恭喜發財 day. Not much happening here. Still doing the usual, grocery shopping, prepping the veggies for next week. Usual boring stuff. That's why I like holidays/vacation so much. No need to worry about the work week.

That's my wish for the year and the year after and the year after to infinity.

年年有餘. 歲歲平安.
