Early Risers Club - A sneak peek into Corkie’s work practises

I was chatting to one of those chirpy morning cunts the other day. He excitedly told me he heard a bird singing at 5.30am so got up and had toast, all set for the day. I reckon he thought I’d be impressed. I told him if I woke at 5.30am I’d probably just fart and turn over.

A couple of key emails drafted and ready for sending at appropriate times later before the chaos of the day begins.

Coffee is for closers only Mike.

Who is responsible for the defect in the code mate?

Give us a bit of details here… A dodgy query thats taking too long to respond? Wrong information being displayed to users ? A requirement that someone completely missed?

Kettle at the ready

In a very specific scenario customers were being told on the front end that they had more money owing when they had already paid their bill in full. It appears that blame lay with developers, system test and UAT in not nabbing this sooner.

There is a savage smell of stone cold guilt of this post.

It’s easy to see the guilt shining through when you are not willing to invest in your system infrastructure and improving customer experience.

I was not involved in the original project so can be absolved of blame on this one.

When it comes to emergency production fixes which may have regulatory consequences if not resolved, the heavy hitters are brought in who can be trusted to deliver in a timely, accurate manner in a pressurised work environment; not lads who spend half their day talking about EPL, taking cigarette breaks and checking how many hours they have worked that day.

In our parish the total from the collection gets put in the parish notes for the following weekend.

However the total from the Christmas Eve/Day collection never gets announced. :man_shrugging:
