"All it takes is one bad day..."
That quote always pops in my mind everytime shite happens because of mundane reasons.
Our group were required to make a calculation program for a particular subject. I wrote the code, it works and runs in the software that we made it in. We even tested it to check if the manually calculated values were precise with the values of the program, works smoothly like Ray Allen's jumpshot. The code was compiled for it to work as a stand alone program without the source software, as required by the instructor. It was done, burned, and submitted.
Then shite happened. The program didn't run in the instructor's PC. Failure. The program was either a hit or miss because of the weight it can pull or lift grades.
Turns out the version of the software we used has a bug which basically makes the stand alone program compiled with it an incompatible piece of shite when opened in other PC's. I just found about it in the manufacturer's own website. The instructor didn't give us a chance to show that it wasn't our fault but a bug of the software itself. It was ok with me even if my grade wasn't changed, at least give a chance to show that it was a persistent problem of the software's compiler and that the made code works in the software so that my other group members can still pass the subject. Still no go.
Basically all in the group failed the subject except one. It doesn't matter that I failed the course but the plight of the other members that did fail weigh heavily upon me because I did handle the programming side of the project. Shite. Another repeat, another delay, another extension. Fucking bugs, now I realize again why I didn't pursue a computer related field even though I'm a bit good at it, I think.
Right now I'm required to do some on-the-job training for school break. I don't feel like doing it because I think I need to relax, recharge, and ignore a bit from all this unnatural pressure.
Worrying about academics, that's unnatural pressure. Being chased by a pack of hungry wolves and running for your very life, now that's natural pressure. You can interchange wolves with either zombies, raptors, or lolcats - whatever scares the very shite out of you. Natural pressure is a good thing people, unnatural one is bad for your health.
But if I take a break, I'll be delayed even more so in finishing univ. I feel like a drone already. I guess I'll just have to suck it up even though I made end up being a mess of a serious person.
