Amazing sometimes some thoughts just pass your mind and its so bad you cant pen them down instantly and well they seem so sort of unrelated. I mean it started by the fact that a guy was introduced to me as a good prospect despite specifying loudly No No No. But I guess people believe trying helps….nevertheless that’s some wasted story……this piece has nothing to do with all that….it just was a cue to the thought process…..there was so much of it but lack of access to a computer prevented the instant writing that I hope to do one ….like jot down all the stupidity that goes around.
Well I was asked my educational qualification and designation……and its so funny I mean really …which platform and client and all that and — that’s all brilliant prospects for me want to talk about….and my thoughts started at the reaction I got .”Oh you are into Testing /QA”….that look snobberly people in development display and yeah I too had nursed hopes of getting into development once. Life went otherwise due to various other socio economic reasons and and now I don’t regret it much …and as they say about nasty critics who were aspiring writers …. I guess this is my self self parody.
Actually I don’t see why anyone into testing should feel bad….. it seems great fun….I mean all the developers from their high rise positions and great talk of technologies and all create an application and then you get a chance to show them all their mistakes …and sometimes oh so silly ones…..
I do crib that this work is all copy paste …data entry and all but then rare are the developers who do not copy and paste (once in a while when browsing some forums you wonder where people working for companies and getting paid fabulously request for workarounds and codes to make something work from unemployed self egotists who do it for freee…..Some strange justice)and Oh what wonderful wonderful mistakes this copy paste and brilliance of developers initiates……..it is all due to such simple technology that we are making a profitable living ….we the low brow testers.
Anyway hopefully this horrid day will end with no more horrors…I woke up anyways to a rare dream. Saw some deer fighting and later deer meat put on fire and I asked some how come deer meat and we see some one had put it to lure tiger and then scared of tiger man locks himself in and as I woke up the only interpretation I could think of was a quote……..” life is a race to be the criminal rather than the victim”
My mind been soo fed up of people and corrupted that I can think of googling up some White paper for myself (which is what some brilliant people in my organization do to get points)which my manager keeps telling me every other day to do soon……and I think lets forget technology ….how about a white paper on The great divide: Developer and Tester…….now that sounds like the title for a novel more than a white paper for a technical body…..and that’s the tragedy of me ……neither here nor there.
P.S:Never imagined after all these things that i would have to go to cybercafe….still no internet damn……bored
