Ever had a contract..

[gricerboy]

... which just makes you lose the will to live? Excessive micro management, tons of tedious administrative tasks to do,
people who don't talk to each other except when talking about work (or Star Trek).

Actually, no, I've never had a contract like that.

Maybe I'm "special".

At the moment I'm doing a really tedious bit of testing. Every single step they want screenshotted with timestamps etc. Then when I find a defect I have to fix it and reapeat the testing all over again. When I'm not doing that I have to mainin a ridiculously convoluted xm file full of enviromental variable; it's real needle in a haystack stuff and it makes you lodse the will to live.

They also use a vocabulary which is to the extreme of what Mich was talking about a couple of weeks back. Somebody just asked me "have you done the selenium build on the golden host yet?" WTF?
If they'd just said have you done the release build on the staging server I might have understood!

I doubt it considering your inability to grasp the concept of regression testing.

Perhaps they summised that anyone who would spend their spare time collecting locomotive numbers, could be entrusted to metronomically undertake tasks that would bore the underpants off anyone normal?
