hard parts

A short song?
#IWishMyTeam

This is a test line
#IWishMyTeam

It looks like you’re
doing just fine
#IWishMyTeam

It’s time for a song of
mine
#IWishMyTeam

It’s late in the evening
#IWishMyTeam

It’s late in the evening
• I’m wondering what words to say
• It’s so hard to breath here
• The customer’s face is gray
#IWishMyTeam

And then he asks me
• Is the product alright?
• And I say “yes, we deploy it all tonight”
#IWishMyTeam

I check in the changes
• The code doesn’t even compile
• I wish I was home now
• Instead I fake a big smile
#IWishMyTeam

And when they ask me
• Is the code alright?
• I say “yes, it seems to compile tonight’
#IWishMyTeam

I feel horrible

• Because I see
• The sadness in their eyes

• When they find out that
• the product
• Doesn’t even have log files
• This thing is doomed
#IWishMyTeam

It’s time to go home
now
• And I’ve got an aching head
• So I lock my computer
• And pray that tomorrow I’m dead
#IWishMyTeam

When my wife asks me
• “Do you feel alright?”
• I say “yes. Let’s watch game of thrones
tonight”
#IWishMyTeam

I feel miserable

• Because I’ll guess
• The madness in their talk

• When they find out
• that tomorrow
• I don’t plan to come to work
• And write my CV
