Working Weekends

Every once in a while I need to work on the weekend. It isn't a big deal, it goes with the job. This was one of those weekends.

We have a delivery next week and are still in bug killing mode. I have a couple in my responsibility that I am attempting to slew. First one went fine, diagnosed the issue and have a plan to execute on Monday morning.

Second one, not so good.
Long story short, spent 8 hours at work today trying to solve an issue that if all the involved parties would just sit in a room together for 30 minutes and walk through the exact scenario and not bring up other issues, it could be solved. Instead I am back in tomorrow hoping to finally put this one down.

This defect has been around for over a week. There are at least 100 hours invested in it by various people/teams. There is an end 2 end owner of the system. If when this first came up, he just would have called 5 people together and sat down, this would have been done. Instead we have over 100 hours into it and we still don't have a solution.

OK, now I am just ranting, so I will quit.
