    Shipping containers.

    All numbered according to a standard.

    Apparently.

    No duplicate numbers.

    Apparently.

    You were lucky.

    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.

    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.


    Just tell the users that the report is "working as designed". That usually upsets them.

    oh and as for the PM who said isn't it obvious you maybe want to ask him whether it should be an obvious part of his project to have testing and sign off procedures in place....
