I found the bug.
A couple of years ago I had written a web application for a customer. On the Friday I had pushed some minor enhancements out.

Just as I was heading out the door to get lashed an e-mail dropped into my inbox from the issue tracker saying that the Logout link was missing.

I didn't have time to look at it and I spent all weekend racking my brain as to what I could have done to cause this erroneous behaviour.

So first thing Monday morning I jump on the application and login and lo and behold the Logout button was still there.

Back on the issue tracker I noticed that there was an attachment. I open it up and staring at me is a screen shot of one the pages. Sure enough the Logout button was missing.

Which really wasn't much of a surprise as the screen shot was of the the login page. Stupid twunts.

Anyway I closed the issue, marked it as fixed and said it was a bug between the keyboard and the chair.

The following meeting they asked for more details on the bug. I just smiled and said it was very technical.

With hindsight I'm glad they weren't able to pick on my not-so-subtle slur.
