        1) Changed the spec over pub lunch today

        2) Didn't start testing it until Monday this week

        3) Bought new software to replace the software that you program is integrating with and installed it today resulting in your program no longer working....

            I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.
