A Dramatic Day

and yes with some disappointment as well

It has been a long and dramatic day and get to know that the release has been postpone due to some issue. Pretty much they found a last minute bug from a module (which is like a show stopper for the whole release). I got nothing to say but to accept the fact that it has been postpone to another week. But later on, I do received an email from my manager if I have any insight on why the team didn't find the bug during the testing phase. Pretty much..., a developer just completed the module on time and on the last testing, he found the bug and he think it will be a mess if everything deploy out which might caused data quality issue in it. (I think it is a good call to halt it).

But in the end, I realize that my PM told my manager that I am the one who is performing the testing (basically no body perform any testing on the module since it was just completed last minute). And now I realize why my manager sent an email to me. (and realize that I have been "put on the table" by my PM).

With mixture of all type of feeling (disappointment, anger...etc) I am pretty much have -ve trust with my PM now... After so many months of hard works and due to her intention to keep a good image of the whole project. She pretty much choose me out as an item to sacrifice?? Anyway, I don't understand and pretty much don't wanna think much about this. I always believe that, we are out there as a team, we success and fail as a team... take up the responsibility and admit that yes there are something wrong in the process or lack of resources planning. I don't mind at all, I know how much the team has paid off to get works done... (work like more than 10 hours/day to ensure things completed nicely) to ensure the project is a success. As I said in some of my previous post, no regret to success and fail as a team... but not like this... (sigh...)

Anyway, it has been a long day and taken this photo to reflect what I feel inside. There will be TechEd tomorrow. I think I will just left all these behind and attend the conference. :)

I hope that everybody will have a nice evening and day. Night... ~:)
