seldearTwo weeks after I made the initial request for some testing to be done, I finally get a response back.
Of course, I don't have any time scheduled to this project anymore, although I'm "on the bench" which means I'm not at a client, so I could put my time towards it. *sigh*
I was kind of enjoying getting a little more sleep, not having to be GO-GO-GO all the time, and getting all my appointments in.
Anyway, the Project Manager - one of the people who's been DEAD SILENT for the last two weeks - finally arranges a meeting where he wants to know where everything is. Well, IDEK, because I got ABSOBLOOMINGLUTELY FUCKALL from anyone else in this project for two weeks. I kept doing what I could, but what I could do was very limited, and I wasn't getting anything back but the echo.
There is a possibility that we might not have to finish the work - that the client is going to dump it all in the 'too hard' basket. It's a slim possibility, but if it comes, I'll damned well take it. Because this is a CLUSTERFUCK of EPIC PROGRAMMING FAIL proportions. Whoever took the word of the functional guy on the other side that this would be as simple as plugging into an existing program, didn't count on the functional guy not being available, the code being positively machiavellian, and the programmer who got stuck with it not being the guy who wrote the existing program in the first place. (Because he knows the ins and outs of the class; I don't.)
The worst part of it all is that all the work left lingering is pretty much in my area. So this is going to look REALLY GOOD on my resume. By which I mean, this shit is going to linger for a while, I suspect...
