The heat is on again, well heat, I mean 6°C. Together with the rising temperature we got descending water. Packaged in short but intensive showers.

I solved the posting to General ledger on Wednesday because the Belgians were having real problems. After solving I placed in the system test environment so that Jan (or Pieter) can test it. We should only send programs out after testing by Jan or Pieter, and Theo really intends to apply that rule. Of course they hadn't looked. This afternoon Jan came in from Germany with the great news that he had discovered a serious problem there and that I should drop everything to solve it. Yhea, great. Could it be the Germans have a posting problem?
I am clearly scoring good points (if there are bugs in my solution however ...). He isn't though. He wanted to ship it immediately to Germany, without testing. After a short discussion he agreed to test it. In Germany, with a copy of their production files. I know it is not easy to test it locally , but for some "not easy" translates in "too difficult" .

Ronny is still struggling. He definitively is not the person to work under pressure. And he is not good at accepting directions from someone else. And compromising is something he doesn't understand . He is doing the job, as told, all the while grumbling. There is no time for an alternative, so he has to. I am doing my best to tone him down a bit and keep him on track.

For me the death lines are approaching fast as well. But the closer they come the more I enjoy myself and then more relaxed I am (which adds to Ronny's frustration :-)

Being under pressure does however mean that I am not doing much at home anymore.


Adios
