5 frustrating things about work today:
- not having the necessary privileges to administer my own files/project on the production instance of Ollie (it’s lame that I can’t do something like choose from the full list of mechanisms for submission/revision of forms)
- arbitrary and unpredictable errors causing some reports I initiated to fail
- arbitrary and unpredictable errors causing my entire SQL tables to be wiped (seriously, what?!)
- discovering serious configuration issues that impact my project’s design in a serious way, at the last moment before my demo tomorrow
- having to bother a much busier coworker (someone I look up to), Bhupinder, because of many of the above issues, since he’s like a guru, except he shouldn’t have to field questions/concerns of a mere coop
If Business class has taught me anything, some of today’s problems could have been solved with… EMPOWERMENT: the granting of just the right amount of decision making power to the right person in the right position/capacity.
