Bug Reports

It makes me want to yell obscenities when I receive extremely vague bug reports. For example, "The font sizes on the toolbar are not the same." OK, that is true. Is this a problem? If so, should they be the same? What size should they be? That is just one example of the horrid bug reports that I get here at work. I don't mind fixing things, but please, be specific!!

Should

It makes me want to yell obscenities when software requirements have the word 'should' in them. Something like, "The button should open a new window". Should? Does this mean it doesn't have to? Or it can if it feels like it? Should is just too vague, and more like advice then a requirement. I should quit smoking, but I am not going to today!

Winter

It makes me want to yell obscenities when winter seems to drag on forever. I am so ready for it to be summer! I am tired of being cold, having to wear winter coats, and did I mention being cold!?!? It is ironic, though. I grew up in Alaska where the winters were bitter and lasted for what seemed like forever. Now I am in Oklahoma. I have been spoiled by these mild winters and now I whine like a little girl when it gets below freezing. Well, at least the groundhog said it will be an early spring! :-)

Blogs

It makes me want to yell obscenities when I hear the word 'blog'. I hate blogs! I swore I would never have one! Why would anyone care what I write about? Well, I should be more specific.... I hate blogs about nothing. You know the ones I am talking about. I am talking about blogs just like this one!
