I want to give some Gibb's slaps

  Or at least one.   The brand new hire is refusing to understand me telling him that his little python code to convert formats is bad.  Even before that misunderstanding of what I plainly told him, I was pissed that he only did the most basic preliminary check that the starting values matched but had never looked at the end of the converted file to make sure the values still matched and had wasted a good chunk of mine and V's time processing data with clock files that were garbage because his python converter loses it place somewhere and is outputting garbage by the end of the file.   grrrr grrr grrr. 

Then V herself.  'big boss is concerned because ONE day has lower #s and needs that explained before approving the results for publishing.   She checked and the prelim file type inventory itself is low, but big boss wants to know why is it low.  It is probably because the level0 file for that day was low on data, but working for horses is not pulled enough different ways already because no one can bother to review the basics of their job before just expecting me to give them a quick fix with no effort on their part and big boss has to have every I dotted and every t crossed, EXCEPT when big boss is express-laning CRAP code from the senior software engineer who always thinks his new code is perfect and doesn't need to be tested on data other than the one or two samples he used to develop it.   So tired of that crap, especially since big boss is taking a whole lot of PTO lately and expecting my supervisor who was already over loaded to pick up his slack.
