Rock, Hill, Developer

Ever had one of those days, especially when you’re in a new gig, that you’re just kinda bouncing around from [what seems to you] problem to problem?  You have that unsettled feeling

Coming up to speed at a new place is often difficult and can try your patience with yourself.  So here is how it sometimes goes.

Company: Hey Developer, can you do this for us?
[and it always seems so simple at first, right?]

Developer: Sure I can do that.
[developer begins task of what often feels like pushing rocks up a hill]

Developer: Huh. Looks like there are no rocks.  Oh yeah, look they are already at the top of the hill.  Hey Company, these rocks already appear to be at the top of the hill.  Is there another task I can work on?

Company: Hey Developer?

Developer:  Yeah?

Company: Wrong hill.
