Tunnel Rat Celebrates Over 10 Years of Blogging

Greetings Insurgents!

I can't believe it's been almost 11 years and I am still blogging away.  My blog has been shut down in the USA, Panama, and Canada, but I have found a stable ISP in Malaysia that doesn't respond to US court orders and C&Ds.  I don't post as much, and most of my stuff is just re-posts from other sources.  I've been too busy working 50-60 hours a week at the curry den I am currently contracting at, and I've been working on my Masters degree for the past few years.  I'll be done with school in a month, so I may get back to some of my more creative blogging, like back in the day.

Things are looking up for the insurgency now that Trump is prez, and even though there has been no drastic action on the slumdog slave trade front, I do think change is in the air.  The *** slumdog infested company I am working at now had the nerve to layoff 100+ Americans at the beginning of the year, and I know of about a half dozen new hires since -- all from The Land That Time Forgot.  However, I believe that by the end of the year, we will see wages rise in IT and the slumdog purge begin as they are priced out of the market and companies decide not to waste their time on the H-1B paperwork and bad karma that is involved with filling their IT shops with curry-eating wage-pirates.  

It's been a long time since the days of doing rhetorical combat on the DICE discussion boards, and the slumdogs are a lot less arrogant now, at least online.  But trust me, they are still just as full of themselves and delusional in the curry dens like the one I work at.  They have taken over entire departments, like QA, and have their stinky potluck shitshows once a week, and babble in Hinglish all day.  

I have been on a death march of a project for the last few months, led by an incompetent slumdog VP who is a master of the circular head bobble.  The business analyst that is supposed to be getting all the reqs. for this ** up project and she is the slumdog wife of the Desi DBA whom I am forced to deal with on a daily basis.  I call it the Triangle of Desi Death.  The horror...

I have recently come to the conclusion that the DBA and his BA wife have conspired to sabotage the project so that I get thrown under the bus and the slumdog VP escapes without blame when things blow up.  The other night this stupid fuckin' DBA, who walks around like his curry-scented doesn't stink and is always trying to act like he his some sort of genius, had one job -- RESTORE THE DATABASE.  Of course, he ** that up, and I was there until 9 PM on a Friday while he tried to call all his Indian buddies, including the slumdog VP, to try to get the system back up.  The one guy he wouldn't call was the ops manager, a redneck IT old-timer who would have reamed his ass.  "No, don't call Bob, he will panic!", slumdog DBA begged.  I let it slide, but I am waiting to pull his punk card when the time comes. 

In the meantime slumdog DBA keeps refusing to grant me DB rights, and then he starts an email -storm when the meager drive space he allocated to me fills up.  The cheap motherfucker (is there any other type of Indian?) acts like he is paying for the storage out of his own *** pocket.  So I finally get his honkey manager to give me the drive space, and this manager sends an email to his whole crew of DBAs to give me whatever the fuck I need.  Of course, this infuriates slumdog DBA, so he makes a big deal out of it, but ends of looking like an idiot because he is the one that put the DB logs and transaction files on tiny drives on the SAN.  He acts like I am minting bitcoins or hoarding kiddie porn on these drives, when all I am doing is running a major ETL job THAT HAS TO *** WORK THE FIRST TIME OR THE WHOLE PROJECT IS **.      

To top it off, his slumdog wife, the Desi BA, is spitting out incoherent specs that all clearly designed to confuse anybody who has to understand them.  She constantly has PMs and QA managers in her cube trying to figure out WTF is going on, and she has taken to giving me the stink eye when I try to get some clarification -- she doesn't even read, much less answer my emails, and hasn't done so for months.  I've made it a point to update my PM when he comes by my cube, loudly letting him know that "I would be done, but I am waiting for [slumdog BA] to give me the reqs" at which point she has to emerge from her curry-scented Hindu shrine of a cubicle to make some excuse about why she can't do her *** job.  Cunt.

Anyway, HAPPY 4th OF *** JULY, and hopefully by this time next year, we will be celebrating independence from the HINDU MAFIA.
