The honeymoon on my new job is over. I realized yesterday that I am going to be beholden to commitments made years ago by my predecessors. This is not good. I don't even know what those commitments are. So as I explained to my manager, we are screwed because my predecessors made some awful commitments (e.g. build an entire 40 page, database driven website, from scratch, in just 40 hours! …with "the customer" providing feedback the whole time on changes and updates, and demanding support for the site for the next 3 years… thus making it more like 160 hours at least.) No wonder my predecessors left! If I dug a big hole, and took a dump in it, I'd leave too instead of climbing in!
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence… until it isn't. So this morning I head in early. A drop of blood to be shed to make amends with the issue at hand, though much like my last job, I am all primed and greased up to fail. I just didn't know it yet!
