same_differenceRight just some other details:
The reason why I'm not doing the work on my placement that I was interviewed for is this:
In between the interview and my start date, there was yet more top level organisational changes all to turn my company from four national companies to a single entity. As part of this they decided to unify all the codes the four sites used (because previously were all using completely different in house developed codes to do the same job), so the code I was supposed to be help developing no longer was going to be written.
The reason why my work is so strange, the lack of deadlines, etc:
The projects I have been doing work speculatively for are only now starting to take off. One of them is beginning very very slowly, and the other should be starting in the next couple of months, but they are still people trying to argue changes to the details in the meetings.
The upshot of this uncertainty is this:
1) The code I've been writing may or may not be used when the projects start properly.
2) The code I've been writing has to be entirely stand alone, do a specific task, but be general enough to be included as part of anything else.
It really isn't easy righting code like that.
