Back to Yuck
278 words.
Yesterday, the situation at Gulag 727 went back to generall yuckiness. As I’ve said before, my current ficitional task is to assist Julio in completing the automatic pet diagnosis report software. This software takes a series of statistical observations about your pet’s symptoms and then generates a long narrative report describing your pet’s condition and suggestions for treatments.
Julio’s part in this task is to dictate a paragraph for each possible condition your pet could conceivably have, and to determine which conditions are worth mentioning and which aren’t and so forth. My part in this task is to write down what Julio dictates.
Tuesday, Julio arrived at 9:00 and we worked fairly well together, completing a large amount of narrative text.
Yesterday, Julio arrived late and we didn’t get started until 11:30, and he kept running off to do other things and kept thinking of new things to add into the report (making it longer and longer and longer, and thus more time consuming). Frustratingly, by the time I left at about 7:30PM, we had completed only a fraction of what we had accomplished on Tuesday. Additionally, we will need to go back over sections we’ve already finished and add more text to them, so we are now quite effectively going backwards instead of forwards. It was quite maddening, especially considering the fact that he has reiterated time and time again how much he needs to complete this project as soon as possible.
I am scheduled to work Saturday from 9AM to “whenever.” Julio wants to work a “full day.” I certainly hope he plans to work more efficiently than he did yesterday.
Oh well. That is all.
