Sucking at work
Today sucked at work. As I walked to my desk Travis intercepted me and told me that I suck for breaking his code. I was speechless so I flipped him off and he laughed. For my ticket I had rearranged a directory structure, his ticket was dependent on knowing the directory structure beforehand, and I had moved it. Just a conflict of timing that we were both working in the same area at the same time, though he had code reviewed my change and my changes got in first, yesterday. Still, it annoyed me.
He's kind of bombastic and complaintistic so it wasn't entirely surprising, but it was the first time someone straight up told me I sucked in the professional world. I'm sure people have said it behind my back, but my work has always been excellent except for my first year out of college, and even then, it's kind of what you'd expect from someone straight out of college with little mentoring. Ohterwise, my work has been decidedly of high quality, and I dare anyone to find an example otherwise. So it's in Travis' nature to go "complain, blame, complain, fix it" so I'm not too offended, but at the same time, it's in my nature to be sensitive to criticism and take things personally.
So yeah, today kind of sucked.
