I am so not cut out to be a QA person. Furthermore, I strongly suspect I could not have a successful relationship with someone who is. They're just so bloody picky. So many of them don't seem to read for content. Everything has to be said 5 times and they still ask the same question you just answered.

To the handful of QA folk reading this, I don't intend it personally, I'm just frustrated with the ones I'm trying to work with and blowing off steam. I'm sure they're all perfectly nice outside of work, but I can only explain so many times that there is nothing we can do to control the behavior of the tab key in Netscape on the Mac before I have to vent somewhere.

I sympathise (and I am a QA person). There are some testers I've worked with who really don't know the difference between a web browser and a cuisonart, but believe they are fully qualified to test web applications.

Speaking of testers, any openings? :-)

JOhn.

Don't think so; we had a few layoffs about a month ago, in fact. My project is one of our more profitable ones, so I'm OK, but I don't think we're hiring. Several people who were on a less profitable project which got axed have been transferred to our project, which is part opf the problem -- we have a lot of people who expect this project to be run like the other ones, and it just isn't.
