i duno if this is the way thigns work in programming world..

my sup, when i first came in, told mi he dun wan surprises (in the sense, nothing much was told abt the progress, n progress was thot to b smooth. but end up actually got prob here n there, n "no time" to voice out). i totally like it. 'cos communication is very impt in a team. but in the end, he very often tell mi last min need to udpate certain data.. cos he jus realise the new data not in. n i had to do it last min.

n oso abt interface design. he told mi to create interfaces. i created. den on wed, he ask mi to develop another interface which will b used for fri demo. i was thnkng, since it's interface for them to see, y pass to mi oni now?? interfaces is wat the user shld see. it shdl b the minimal tat shld evolve when designing projects. at least, when during the demo, tis is wat the clients wanna see. den last min pass to mi, n wanna mi make it work. kauz!

wat i feel odd is tat, even after working for 1.5 mths, i know his style of working, but he still dunno how i'm thinking. when we discussing, he tends to tell mi wat methods to use n how to do.. but the things is tat, he is nt the 1 doing. how does he know if t works?

n even funny tonight. since mornign, he been tleling mi, how much thinsg he's got left do finish up. n in a few hrs, shld b done. den later, he say, he doing last section of testing. will finish in 2 hrs. 2 hrs later, he still doing, n an interface whcih suppsoe to b done up by him oso not done yet. i really duno wat i doing now.. for the actual 1, or for the fri demo siazz.. n later, when i almost finished my part , i asked him wat else i need to do. he thto i did not, within my capabillities, manage to finish the part. so he volunteered to help mi. cos he oso haven done the interface designing yet. we even argue who shld b resolving it, mi or him. cos he say he'll take 5 mins oni to do it, while i may take 15 mins. so if he do, will have extra 10 mins. but kauzz!!! i've been doing these things, n yet he doubted my abolities???? but since he seem persistent, i let him do it. but sensing my reluctance, he say he'll let mi do, but muz b within 5 mins.

know wat, 5 mins later, he really came to chk. DUH! b4 this, i oredi thot of wat to say if he really inspect. "wah u really come n chk ah?". but he din make it obvious. he more to checkignt he progress.. n he has not even finished his work yet. he even had the cheek to volunteer helping mi siazz.. den i finsihed my part b4 8pm. he say he gonna stay til 10pm, looks suprised tat i going home early. but the things is tat, he cant even track his own tiem siazZ!! he kept emphasizing on how exp he is, but the timing he so bad?? he keep thinking he can finish on tiem in 2 days, den GUI can b done in 1 day. but.. things din turn out. yet, he dared to tell mi abt time mgmt...

n hor, thie evening, i learnt wat does "a technical person cant communicate well" actually mean. these programmrs or designers, they have their ideas n wat-2-do in their minds. so when they speak, they know wat they are toking abt. n ake somehwo the shortcut. cos they thot the listener oso havw the same idea n topic. n sometimes, they jus speak watever they wanted to know. without guding teh listener to properly perceive their tinking. jus like tis sup, saying "u can do tis, store it, manipulate it, n den display it" but tat wat is in his mind. he have thot of tat plan. but th thing is tat, he say wat's in his mind, but i cant catch it LOL..

oso got 1 time, he jus say "u know u have to remove rite?" i was confused.. remove?? wat?? stored items, or for a remove purpose? i ask "u mean when click on reset?" he say "NO NO... ok i show u" he draw out the sequence diagram, taking up 5 mins. but, the things he wanna tell mi, i oredi implemented.

sighzz.. lack of chemistry..

haha.. 1 more thing. when he show mi some code, he'll rush to describe to mi wat he's doing. but being a programmer, by telling mi, it's his idea. but when i read the code, i can better understand wat he's doing... cos his words sometimes confusing.. but when he's reading my code, i wnana explain, but he stopped mi hahha,,
