Programs and people
May 6th 2007 07:30
The other day I wrote about an unfriendly program at work that wouldn’t keep the format for particular reports, and had to be reformatted every time. Okay, I was wrong. It can be formatted, and I found out how to do last Friday. The moral ought to be: never write out of ignorance, but since I often do, it’s obviously not a moral I’ve taken on board yet.
Unfriendly programs can often be fixed, if we get the right information. Unfriendly people are a different kettle of fish. I haven’t worked with too many unfriendly people over the years, and to have come across a very small number in the last six months is a bit of a surprise. Before that I struggle to think of any people who were what I’d call consistently unfriendly. There were always people you didn’t really make much progress with in terms of friendship, but in general I’ve got on well with people overall.
I guess I’ve been very lucky in that respect – or maybe I’ve just haven’t been in the sorts of jobs where you meet bullies, or people who put you down, or ambitious people who’d walk all over you. What a blessing.
