I hate QA

Well, I'm just getting a chance to create an entry for today. I was QA (Quality Assurance) at work today. I had to test a customized version of the software created for a new client. However, the software is still pretty buggy so it took so long to write up everything, let alone do the testing. I don't really enjoy QA. It's a necessary evil, but it is way too tedious for any type of enjoyment. I don't see how people can choose QA as a vocation (but I'm glad people do).

I'm starting to learn Russian. It will be very slow because of my work and school commitments, but I needed to get started if I was ever going to understand it. Oksana wants our children to know Russian and I agree. However, I don't want the children to be able to bad mouth me in another language without me understanding what it is they are saying. So, I need to get moving on understanding it at least somewhat. I have no aspirations of being fluent or even conversant. I do want to understand what I hear and read to a decent level.
