FUCK!

I feel like I'm a dumping ground for all work related to the PI. Anything related to this piece of shit is automatically pushed on to me. Today, Dukhi as usual turned to me and threw across his normal preamble of "Hi". I expected to work on another bug, but found out that I was to work on some "enhancement" to the PI! First of all, what sort of "enhancements" can you add to the chaotic junk that is the PI? Secondly, why me?

Till today, I was feeling frustrated at all these bugs that were being foisted onto me. Then I realized that I was living in relatively better territory, because the PI is a mire in which you can sink faster than you can realize. Now I can't wait for the "appraisals" to happen. I have to put across the point to the management that I will not accept being pushed around into the PI. Hell, the newcomers to the group are getting much better work than I am. The Bulldog is into an RFE, and Jawaani is working on escalations. Then why the fuck am I being degraded like this?

A few months ago, when the TP team was formed, I thought they would work mostly on the PIs and packaging stuff. I had the feeling I was in a better position than them, having being assignd to the SIO. However, they're getting dev work, and even though it's mostly in Java, it's development nonetheless. I haven't yet got any dev work at all. The RFEs I worked on back in August was crap, as the design was already laid out and I just had to do some implementation. Then came the new PI, then bugfixes, then the old PI, then more bugfixes, and now the old PI again! Now I've begun to feel that I should have been in the TP team.

Damn the PI! Damn the management!
