UQAW

Unlimited QA Works (pun from Fate/Stay Night) can pretty much describe working the 10+ hours shift at work. At one point I was QA final checking (QA = Quality Assurance) 24 IMB T42s all at the same time! Not just once, but going at it at like a madman checking over laptops in 24-shot attacks.

Even with myself and the two other “veterans” of QA Finals going nuts the whole frickin’ time we were at work, still ended up leaving at 4:15am. This is after the fact that we had 10-12 people doing QA Finals from midnight and on. Before that, it was just us three “veterans” doing 10+ laptops in one shot and repeating the process over and over and over again.

Really the only good thing about the 12 hour shift was the fact it was all overtime pay. I (un)fortunately get to get more overtime since we all have to come in today and sunday at 5pm to god-knows-when. It’s going to be great money, once I actually get the paycheck (unfortunately the way the temp agency works, don’t get the big-arse check until mid-September), but 10 hour shifts everyday for the past week and most likely next week too is really starting to get to me. Constantly almost falling asleep and being out of energy at work doesn’t help either
