As I mentioned before, often I would get little tidbits of help here and there…and usually it doesn’t really carry me much further.
Today, I was close to hitting my mental limit. After asking for help, I was told to scrap much of the test changes I made in order to get it all to work and try a different approach. I wasn’t feeling all too keen on doing it, but I went ahead anyway just because as a co-op I’m really in no position to argue against a full-timer.
About 15 minutes into testing, nothing was happening in the simulation. I was fully ready to roll up my sleeves and go to the guy telling him that his suggestion wasn’t working. Oh, and it was going to feel so good too. Mental images of me smugly chuckling at the whole affair were circling my head. I just had to wait because the guy was away from his desk. I was damn psyched.
When he finally arrived, I got up out of my chair ready to deliver the news. Before leaving my cubicle I decided to give the sim one more check. Low and behold, there was the sim, actually showing the expected activity.
Fuck me.
Well, I guess I’m lucky I didn’t further make an ass of myself, but still. No smugness for me. I will spend the final two hours of the work week finishing off this sim.
I hate it when I’m wrong. :plain:

Indeed.
Foiled again.
Jason gets no opportunity to be a smug SOB. Probably a good thing. He might start liking it.
