Is this a bad dream or what ?? - pitbullmom


Posted: Mar 07, 2011

Is anyone in the Western region experiencing an overly picky (i.e. commas, etc) interim QA person ?  It's really getting irritating and nerve wracking.  Is this to justify a permanent position vs interm......or is this just a bad dream ?  I invite your thoughts.  Thanks !

Yes on my last audit - no name

Only thing they could find wrong was comma.

I am also in your dream, please wake up.

QA person is not new to company but new to QA lead. Think a little gone to the head.

The other end of the e-mail is someone in the same boat, but I can only speak for myself. I would love to talk to other people who have been nitpicked or worse found things in reports that were there correctly and still QA'd. It's frustrating and isolating to be in a situation like this where you get to a point where you are too paranoid to produce. Anyone is welcome to e-mail me and I will happily talk to them on the phone. I'm just one more in the MT pool here who has been doing this for years, decided to be an employee again recently, got hired at MQ, and is too old to get out of the game at this point.
are you the same one who - was MQ positive only
[ In Reply To ..]
I think this same person e-mailed me previously and was MQ positive only. Had a group of people that he/she IM'd that were SO POSITIVE...

Now, e-mailed me about the Q being too picky.

I have a wierd feeling about this.

Hope you are reviewing the feedback carefully. I have found several places where words are changed incorrectly. Make sure you point those out to QA along with a copy to CCM.

After almost 6 months of being unemployed,I was very lucky this week to find a position that pays an hourly wage. I feel so good about this and it is way more than minimum wage with a company. I want to make this one work out and am very positive about it. It's amazing what knowing what you will make each day can do for your moral. It takes some of the stress off. ...

I was offered my dream job over the weekend.  I don't want to name the company as they were great.  The woman who hired me was terrific.  I know I wasn't their first choice as I got the call on Saturday, could I start right away.  I filled out the contract, printed all the information.  It took me all day Saturday.  I was anxious and excited.  As the day went on I noticed little things that I wasn't told about the platform.  There was no sp ...


Am I In A Bad Dream Or What?
Jan 15, 2013

Suddenly, all of my reports are horrible, the dicators are so bad and the sound quality so low and fuzzy. Somebody please wake me up from this bad dream. Yesterday I had a dictator who was so annoying, when he said "median raphe" and VR put "middle finger," you can't imagine (or maybe you can) how badly I wanted to keep the VR version! I hope this isn't the way it's going to be from now on. This is like the account I had when I first started with MM (then MQ). I thought I ...

Hi my fellow MTs!  Pinch me I am dreaming!  My SO is building us a new home, and Monday we meet with the kitchen designer/cabinetry dude to layout the kitchen, which will include my office. He was insistent that he build a corner desk overlooking the woods, the best view of the house!  He did not want me holed off in another room of the house, but wants to keep me in the heart of it!  Yes, he has an ulterior motive... preparing scrumptious meals while I work... but thats fine ...
