Sounds a bit like the sprint planning at clientco

doh! sounds just like some conversations I have had.

User - Lets have a process in the ERP to pursue the customer aggressively for payment at 31 days from shipment. Look here's one on 60 days from shipment.
Me - when did you send the invoice? Because that starts the current process.
User - Yesterday
Me - oh.........................(thinks to self why do I bother)

Beware watching The Ides of March (2011) too. I did the other week, and couldn't really get into it.

Maybe I was a bit too pissed to appreciate the finer nuances or something. But dare I say, it was a bit boring.
