Sometimes, one's worst fears come true. You know what my worst fear in the field of computing is? It's having no choice but to solve blocking bugs under tight schedules, which disrupt all the other schedules I've got going in my life.
Which, by the way, doesn't sound that bad once you're in it.
It's not a fear in the conventional sense. It makes me angry at everybody who's gone home and hasn't stayed. It makes me angry at the API developers who made my life difficult. It makes me fear when I would finish.
Until the smart a** next door solves it within the hour and I'm left wondering why I didn't get it, or didn't ask them to help immediately. By then, the anger has become a calm resignation as if the rock pinning me to the keyboard has been lifted.
It's time to go home.
