Octarine 26: Computer Science
Author: Kat
Title: Computer Science
Story: In the Heart
Colors: Octarine 26 (The people who really run organizations are usually found several levels down, where it is still possible to get things done.)
Supplies and Materials: Miniature, canvas, glue (You're not willing to sacrifice your values just to be accepted by your peers), stain (If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? - Scott Adams), brush (expeditious)
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Aaron didn't hate programming so much as he hated management.
Warnings: none.
Notes: Aaron's actual degree (the first one, anyway) is in computer science. FIVE OCTARINE LEFT.
Aaron didn't mind being a programmer, exactly; it could be boring and repetitive, with moments of extreme frustration, but he'd known that going in. What he did mind, and he minded it with extreme prejudice, was the management.
Management had never been programmers in their lives, or if they had it was so long ago that none of their experience was still relevant. Management wanted things tomorrow when they should take a week. Management wanted quantity over quality but demanded quality too. Management could code this goddamn log in page themselves for all Aaron cared.
He quit six months in.

BTW- I started training in network admin once so the sympathy has a basis in reality!
And you can tell how that went, I bet.

I'm assuming it didn't go great. *snugs* Much better to have a workplace with squirrels.
