Damnit!

I know I said I was trying to have a positive outlook just a couple entries ago, but the universe seems to be plotting against me when it comes to that plan....

Lately I have been crazy busy, which is bad enough on it's own, but now work has become a royal pain in the ass...

I generally stir up a little trouble at work to keep things interesting, and there is always lots of things that need to be inproved, so there are always good targets... The problem is, there have been too many that have had to come to light in the last few weeks... And then just to make it more intersting, I have a new war on my hands...

This new war involves my manager, who most developers in the division have said they do not want to ever have to work for. Three of the four 'in the code daily' developers on my team have been getting increasively frustrated with this manager, and so far this week he has managed to completely piss of two of us... So much so that if we could have afforded to, one of them would have quit on tuesday, and I would have quit yesterday... As if it, I fired off an email to the director of the division asking to be moved to another dev team, and today I will probably be stirring things up around this manager more today.... We've lost several good developers from the division over the last 8 years or so because of this jackass(at least in part). His name is even treated as a curse by several of the coders in the division.. I basically didn't sleep last night because I was so pissed off at this bastard, and now I feel like shit on top of being angry... Hopefully something will be done soon, or I'm not sure what is going to happen, but it ain't going to be pretty...

But I did get told by a couple people hey were surprized I lasted this long before hitting my breaking point... They figured it would be about a month on his team, rather than a year, since they know I have a low tolerance for stupidity... So at least I'm not facing this problem on my own..
