Oh boy.

So it's no news now: I'm quitting my company. This week's my last.

Why am I quitting? Let us just say: I'm not too confident in its future. Too much disconnect between its ambitions and its actual capabilities.

Case in point: they just made the news.

A super-hyper-high visibility website went up today. We're talking something really big, here.

And it went down in flames right away. With, it seems, all the country's cameras turned on it.

Today was a day off for me so this doesn't affect me personally, but let's have a thought for my coworkers. Must not have been a good day for them.

But I can't stop laughing. Oh boy.

At this time, Google News has already aggregated over 150 articles about the site's mislaunch. Wow. >O.o< Heads may roll over this...

Congrats on not putting up with shit. Hope you find somewhere better :)

I hope. You know what you leave behind but you can't tell what's ahead. But hey, we'll see. :)

I have no idea which company you're talking about but hopefully you can fill us in next week. We'll be able to celebrate your last day at work.

Much MUCH love to you my dear friend, I know this isn't easy, and if you ever need anything, you know my phone and email address...

See you soon!

You'll be filled in all right, don't you worry!

I'm doing okay as a whole, just generally ponderous in a "So what do I want to do with my life now?" kind of way. With a side dish of "Yeah, I know it's probably too late for some things already", which is not very awesome, but whatcha gonna do? For now I'm bringing buddies over and hoping kiddo-related duties won't be too much of an impediment to the general process of having buddies over. We'll see how that goes. :)

I'm sure we'll manage kiddo just fine. It worked last time I stayed over at G's after all, we'll just have to take turns checking in on the baby :)

Hey, share the link, that we can laugh too ;)
I don't know if you have already found a new job, but good luck in your search ^_^
I prefer not to ask you a resume to give to my society, as it seems that more the time goes, and more they are taking the way to go directly through a wall too.

Nah, I consider general untargetted bitching alright but citing actual names or URLs would be going too far. Devoir de réserve, y'know.

Besides, the link has been all over the Net for the last two days. *g* I've already screened comments from people who guessed correctly. Presumably screenshots of the error pages shouldn't be too hard to come by either.

Sounds like a plan, to not be there, I mean. ....So, do you have somewhere else in mind for work?

Oh, by the way -- Hi! I still exist, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

[balinares.livejournal.com]

Hi! So do I, and I'm still slow to respond to LJ comments, see? As for work, what opportunities I was eyeing didn't pan out, but it's okay. Until then, I REST.

So much fail. It's delicious.
