Last week at work.

Finished a relatively small project I had been working on last week. It was a new page with a few fields that needed to be verified and this info would be sent to a report. The trick was that the new page was an already existing page but it was totally unlike most of our other pages so I was happy that I was able to get everything working the way it should. (Though one of the test cases failed cause the text on my page didn't exactly match what the test case showed. Think that may be a test case defect but the business analyst is out for a few days.)

Spent 12 hours at work on Tuesday, making sure that the new code was ready to go to test Thursday. Ran into the Director of I.T. on Wednesday and he asked how it was going and I told him that it went relatively smoothly and he goes 'Good. It shouldn't be that hard.' Like he knows. This guy will say stuff like 'A report should take 3 days to do - at most', then spend months trying to fix one.

The thing is this new project still needs is a RoboHelp page, explaining how to use the page. But, it turns out, we don't have RoboHelp installed on any of our servers so I installed it on mine then tried to figure out how to use it. Like everything at work this is harder than you might think. (I'm sure boss man would wonder why it's not the same as writing a word doc.) For one thing, we already have a bunch of help docs, but they aren't in a 'project' file that the system needs and also, our pages are registered in the database in several places. So I have to figure out how to create the help file, add another component to the original page linking to the help file (and I want it to look just like the other pages in this regard even though it's built totally different), register the new file without throwing all other help pages off, and while I am doing that, the tickets in my help desk queue collect dust.
