Just got off the phone for a meeting for our upcoming quarterly features, trying to decide what we’d do in Q3. There were only 3 of us in the meeting, but my, how doomed it sounded. People are just *not* optimistic about our future. Perhaps it’s more gloomy being in the office, but jeez. There’s a lot of this, “Is there any point in trying to figure out what to do?” feeling going on, coupled with Eyore-like, “Might as well treat it as business as usual” commentary. There’s *one* project that we discussed that to me *does* seem like reinventing the wheel, in light of not knowing what’s going to happen with the company and our development platform, so I spoke out against it, but mostly I don’t see much point in flailing around miserably about the whole thing.
Ow. Hiccups.
Anyway, it’s a little weird, that’s all, working for a company that doesn’t know what its future will be. Actually, I’m pretty confident the company will continue on. It’ll mostly be a question of whether we continue on with it or not. As one of my coworkers said, “The apathy is killing me,” and while I don’t feel that way, really, I can see why people do. It’s all pretty strange.
But back to bugs, because the job hasn’t gone away yet. :)
