Bit of a raw rant I'm reporting here, over the miniscule company I work at.
Today we had to finish this Virtual Machine with a DNS resolver in it.
Yesterday my direct superior instructed me that this morning I should finish testing the partial domain update procedure, and then test the overall performance in another location that we have
Thing is, this morning I arrive at the office
And before I even had the time to touch the power up button of the PC, the boss of all bosses comes in and tells me to come into his office so we can test the domain upgrade script
Yesterday it took like 6 people to not make the VM explode during load testing.
We were load testing the whole machine by running the entire script, from head to bottom
Today my boss tries to repeat that, except that as soon as he sees the number of solved DNS queries drop even by the tiniest bit, he immediatly stops the load testing tool
So basically the loss rate is 96% instead of 99% as he wants, because in that particular section that lasts 2 seconds at most the machine slows down
So he sends me to fix that
I spent the whole morning trying to get that fucker to work with a 99% rate
And when afternoon comes he arrives in my office complaining that I didn't update him (about results I didn't get)
Meanwhile the best I managed to get that fucker at is 97.5%
So now it also arrives my direct superior who tells me that I didn't test the VM in the new location
AND ON TOP OF IT ALL
A DUDE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMES IN AND ASKS IF I HAVE AN HOUR
