That sounds like the energy trading database I was once given to "finish", where there was a VOLUME column but no UNITS column. Instead the units varied between kWh, MWh, GJ and a couple of others depending on the date that the trade was captured.

Sheer Luxury !!Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostI cant believe the fckng sh1te these fckng fckrs are fckng heaping on me.
Theres a fckng field containing fckng balance, which is orders - deliveries, and a fckng fields on the fckng report called fckng balance. So the users pay for the fckng report and the fckng fcks here dont bother testing it, because its so fckng simple. But the fckng fck users meant something different, they fckng meant all future sh1t, which to me is fcng out fckng standing. So now the fckng pm says, 'isnt it obvious'
well if it was fckng ovbious you fckng fck, i would have fckng done it propply in the first fckng place.
fck me.

One project I was on we'd have a meeting say .... on the Tuesday, agree requirements, document requirements, start coding ..... at the next meeting the following Tuesday the 'manager' (who couldn't manage a pot noodle) would have changed everything in his head and look at us with complete bewilderment how we had not read his mind and changed everything on the hoof. When challenged with agreed documentation he would spout "The document needs to be a fluid document". I nearly chaired the bar steward a few times.Comment

Just tell the users that the report is "working as designed". That usually upsets them.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostI cant believe the fckng sh1te these fckng fckrs are fckng heaping on me.

On my project we didn't have a Project Manager, Business Analyst or any requirements. The client just looked at me and I was expected to know what he wanted and deliver a full Enterprise solution within a week.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

All numbered according to a standard.
Apparently.
No duplicate numbers.
Apparently.
Someone hadn't really done their homework. There was more than one numbering standard, and the occasional duplicate to make life "interesting".Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
