Here’s a little something to get you through the afternoon: Van Halen’s “Runnin’ with the Devil”.
Although, personally speaking, I think I’m more short track speed skating with the devil and getting disqualified for tripping him in the final turn.
It’s Sunday morning. Let’s start it with some “Hair of the Dog”:
That will put you straight for a week of handling the unthinkable.
It’s the start of another week, but how about we make it an epic week?
Whenever I hear this song, I feel like tearing off my shirt, picking up the family claymore, painting my face, and charging the English lines or sacking the software architect’s office again.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a family claymore; all we have is a family halberd. And the software architect doesn’t have anything worth taking left in his desk.
But keep in mind, QA, you’re the only hero who stands between the predations of the project managers and developers and the poor innocent users. They need you. They’re holding out for you to do your job.
Good morning, project managers! Here’s a couple songs to perk you up for a change!
We in QA are certain things are going to go right for you this week. Unlike all the rest of them.
It’s Monday. Time to imitate the action of the tiger, stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage, hen lend the eye a terrible aspect, and heed the Skid Row.
IE users can see it here.
Turn up your computer speakers and let the rest of your cube block know QA has arrived.
There’s a metaphor for software development and QA in the song. I’ll leave it to you to determine it.
Put yourself back in the workweek frame of mind with Voltaire’s song “When You’re Evil” envisioned as a music video starring Jack from A Nightmare Before Christmas:
I got nothing this morning, so let’s turn up some AC/DC to get the week started, okay?
