Re: does the job maketh the (wo)man?
Nov 07, 2001, 23:26
I once worked on a job doing some software for a piece of machinery that measured the thickness of metal tubing (what?). I later found out that the particular metal tubing it was measuring and maintaining quality of was actually nuclear fuel rod casings !!! I seem to remember going absolutely ballistic at the guy I was subbing to at the time. The git knew damn well I would never have done it if I'd known. It still really fucking bugs me 10 years on!!

The only positive thing I ever managed to glean from this (and let's face it you have to get some sort of plus just to cope sometimes) was that at least I knew there was some very good quality control procedures in place in at least one part of the process.

I think I'll go and hang either myself or my head .....
