Tuesday was my first day after training. but it wasn't my first day really because we didn't actually work or find bugs that day. in fact, most of the day was spent talking... and most of the time it was about nothing to do with the project... more like... anime and comic books as usual and some new topics that i cant recall right now. We did find out what game we were testing and what platform. I am on Guitar Hero greatest hits on PS2. and that's all i can say about the actual project.. but Wednesday was really cool. See more than 1 person has said that working on guitar Hero makes you a better tester because testing on GH is unlike any other game you could test. its harder. Usually the average amount of bugs a day that they want to be found by each QA is 10. but for GH its 5. they are more lenient in the beginning. i found 3 on Wednesday. And today, Thursday, i found 4. I'm not sure at this point if on average I am coming in on the higher or lower end of the bug contributing scale... but I'm not complaining. I think I am doing a decent job considering I've never done this. and considering as much as i feel i screw up or get things wrong in my own head sometimes, I see people do things far stupider, and my confidence quickly returns. I wish I could sit here and write in more detail. not about the game but the experience. because i love to write about everything that happens. and so much happened this week... but i am so tired. and i need to go to sleep because i have to get up at 6:10 to leave at 6:30-6:40am so i can be at work before 8:30am. its a sucky drive, and if the work was ridiculous or the people sucked.. i could see myself quitting for the drive alone. but its worth it. And its strange but... ever since i got this job, me and tim have become so much closer. i really feel its helped us through that rough patch we recently had. first due to shared excitement. determination. support. comforting when i didn't think i got the job. more excitement upon getting the job finally. and now... strange but... the time apart... i miss him so much more in the day. i cant wait to get home (around 7:30) and he feels the same. the best parts of our day are after dinner when we cuddle on the couch and just lay there or read together. losing 2-4 hours of timmy time really takes a toll. i guess its true. absence really does make the heart grow fonder :[ i wish i could take him in my purse and talk to him when I was bored. but anyways i have t o go. this was way longer than i intended and its way late now and i am going to be a grump in the morning. p.s. I love you snookie-bear, you are my whole world. Your support gives me the strength and encouragement i need in everything i do. (and God of course) Love, your snookie-pie
