Bad day, ai-ya

Work-wise, it's looking worse and worse. All the time I was planning to put in tonight to avoid having to come to work on Saturday evening was voided when we got the call at 2 pm that we would have to start again, and that we would have the new environment available to us, wait for it, on Saturday morning 9 am.

So I came up with the "five stages of testing" based on Kubler-Ross' "five stages of dying":

1. Denial and isolation: "It's just a configuration issue."
2. Anger: "What the fuck am I doing here at 7 am if this piece of crap is not working!?!"
3. Bargaining: "If only I could log in..."
4. Depression: "Why bother, it won't work anyway."
5. Acceptance: "I'm going to work the weekend."

I started from number one yesterday, and slowly worked myself up to number five by the end of the evening. It truly sucks - I'm going to do my photography course from 10 am - 5 pm, and then go to work. Sucks, sucks, sucks.
