as mentioned earlier, i din feel like going gym.. as i bought my lunch, i suddenly thot of wat's happening to my life.. i'm really confused.. or kinda confused.. (it really takes courage to review on urself) in the past, when i applied for jobs, i stated tat my dream is to develop a program that is user frnly n without hiccups.. now, i did.. but just tat, my thinking is not the same as the sup's, so need to change.. i guess i need to get used to it..

another thing is, batch files.. i have not much exp wif it.. but managed to develop a nice file within 1 wk.. i'm impressed.. unfortunately, the boss saw some loop holes in it. i really din expect negative side to take place.. but yes, she alerted mi tat, i shld prepare for it to happen.. tis is perhaps wat we call, QA.. we shld not expect things to flow smoothly n shld b prepared for unexpected scenarios...

n.. tis is causing mi the confusion.. i'm havign conflicts:
1) i wan to produce an almost-flawless.. or rather, flawless system within my scope.
2) i feel disappointed when errors are found
3) i feel great when i manage to resolve errors
4) i become lazy or.. despair when my program meet problem.
5) i want my program to be flawless, but at times, i simply give myself a "never mind, it's alright" response.
6) somehow i feel i'm getting too used to a comfy 9-6 job, n simply wana leave when tiem is up.. or maybe.. cos many ppl r leaving on time, i find it quite odd tat i stayed late.. although i knw i have to finish wat's expected of mi..

sighzzz...

As a software tester, and someone who teaches it to testers, I know exactly how you feel. I call it "Your Baby's Ugly!" The programmer is like a proud parent who is pushing their newborn baby in a pram. The software tester is like a person who comes up to the pram, looks in, and says, "Is that your baby? What an ugly little child! Have you considered taking it to the plastic surgeon?"

You should accept that, like us all, you're fallible and make mistakes. Once you've checked and unit tested your work, make sure that the software testers have at it and find all the serious faults for you. Software development is a team activity, after all, and your teammates will make mistakes too, that you may be able to help them with in the future.

You're very self-reflective and creative, so you'll be fine, I'm sure. Keep up the good work.
