I always find it rather difficult to explain about my job related to programming to non-technical people especially to own my parent. Even after i've been working for almost 5 years, my mom still keep asking me the same question since she's been asked by our relatives. poor her! So, to make it simpler..i'm telling my mom 'umi, ckp jer kyang keje bahagian komputer..'. Sometimes, i'm also facing the the same situation when everyday handling with non-technical user unless if they always involves themselves on system enhancements.
situation 1:
user > azirah, why the booking amount is not correct?
me > please issue service request. I need to update several tables. (Table tu bukan bermaksud meja ye, but a place to store informations).
situation 2:
user > azirah, please check..the screen shows error message bla..bla2
me > Oh, the screen has bugs. I need to fix the screen, please issue service request. (Bugs tu bukanlah bermaksud kumbang..but this term used by us to describe program error, failure.
Do i enjoy my job?
Yeps, but there is some pron and cons:
Pron

Haha..this picta really present our real life..its true that programmer require small things to be happy and a small glitches to become frustrated.
