I just realized there's a title box.

So today was REALLY stressful. We started out thinking we were prepared with our tasks that we needed to do for PoC, and then everything got completely revamped and some things got taken out while a lot more got added.

For example, the wind mechanic got taken out of the PoC. I was slightly frustrated at this, because for an hour and a half or so before we found out, I had completely written all of the wind code that we needed to make it work properly, and right after I finished it I was told that it got cut from the PoC. I mean, it's still there so we can put it in whenever we need it, but I felt like that time was wasted doing something that wasn't needed for the current next milestone.

Also, our lunch break got cut short by about 35 minutes because we needed to rehash our milestone acceptance form and we had to have it done by the time we got back from lunch even though we were only told to redo it at 11:30. We all had to rush for our lunch and one of our IP's Dave didn't get to eat at all because he stayed back to make sure everything was formatted and took care of sending everything to where it needed to go.

I guess the point I'm stressing over is that we thought we had an agreement with the EP and IP for what was going to go into the PoC, and we scheduled what we were doing based off that, and without warning, the next morning we were told that it was all wrong, even though it was exactly what we agreed on only two days before.

I dunno, I probably seem pretty angry, but I guess we just have to deal with it. We're gonna do our best to get everything done the best we can.

Another thing, when we were splitting up the tasks for what to do before PoC for the second time (because we had to rewrite it all), a certain member was upset that we weren't putting in a finalized AI. We were told to keep basically what we had with our demo, but with a couple modifications, but he couldn't accept the fact that a fleshed out AI was not wanted for PoC. He kept arguing even though he couldn't say that he would be able to implement it for the PoC. It was so pointless. We argued about it for several minutes, trying to accommodate his needs while still maintaining what was supposed to go into the PoC, until he finally got angry at all of us for no reason and told us to stop arguing about it. I hope this doesn't keep happening.

On a side note, after a long day of working on the Tech Doc yesterday, which was super stressful as well, I grabbed some BK on my way home and watched the most recent episode of house, which was amazing. Today the new episode of Bleach came out, they finished with the filler last week and this was the first episode back on the main storyline. So good.

Something funny, Andy and I have a running joke where I'm a crippled guy that's always being offended by everything he does. (I really broke my leg in two places over xmas break, and I've got a metal rod inside my leg. The screws going through my bone that stick out a little bit mess with my muscles and I walk with a slight limp) At the same time, when I 'freak out' he takes on the role of an offended Asian guy. When I was writing up the integration plan in the Tech doc, instead of putting his name as the integration lead, I put "Some oppressed Asian guy" as a joke. And it accidentally got left in for the first turn in for the tech doc. >.<

HOWEVER... I only claim 30% of the responsibility for this, because it just goes to show that after I typed it up, nobody bothered to read over it to make sure it was something everyone could agree on. I guess I could take that as a compliment as it could be a representation of their confidence in my writing abilities.

Bah, anyhow, I guess I worked off my steam typing all that up. Right now Andy is bothering me about where to eat for supper. Heck if I know.

KK guess that's all for today, hope you had fun reading it, or not.
