It’s Hard Supporting the Globe
Today has shown to me how annoyingly difficult it is to support an application around the globe when the folks on the other side of the world work regular hours. Face it, it means that I have to work unusual hours and long ones at that, and much of the time, there's a day delay because their day ends before mine starts, and starts after mine ends. Very annoying.
On the upside, it's because I want to turn things around quickly that it's annoying. If I was content to let things progress slowly, it'd be a nice change to the day ..OK, sent that email and have a day to wait for a response..., but that's not what I like to do. Additionally, the problems of having people trickle things to you means that you never really get the full picture until you have gone round and round about it several times and find that nothing is forthcoming. Give it to me all at once and then we don't have to wait for these horrible delays.
But then again, maybe that's exactly what they are planning on. Nah... that's too well thought out. The things bugging me now are simply because they don't think more than one step ahead of their own existence. Crud.
