Ain't that always the way though?

# Of course
and as per frigging usual, it's my fault. Well, it isn't, but the customers don't care. As far as they're concerned I've got the word 'manager' in my title so I must be the Milosevic of the customer service world.

# Aye aye Cap'in!
Perhaps the reason it dosen't work is because you have been spending more time on here than on the part you were to play in the latest project?

But that's OK. B3ta will look after you.

# Wrong.
b3ta is proven to improve product quality in 100% of cases. FACT.

If the Captain hadn't spent so much time on b3ta during the development phase it would be multiple corporate manslaughter rather than a few people moaning.

# Yeah, course I have.
That's why you've barely seen me since last week. I'm on my lunch right now, if that's ok, considering I bloody deserve a little break from the sheer volume of people who also mistakenly think this is my fault because I happen to work on the same scheme.

Perhaps the reason it doesn't work is that the people who created it (funnily enough, not ME due to the fact that I don't work in I fucking T) bollocksed up.

# how odd
I find that the reason I have to keep "fixing" our systems is that the users are complaining that it doesn't work how they wanted it to,
even when it works in EXACTLY the way that they asked for it to:

"Oh we thought you'd know what we really meant."
Well maybe, if I was fucking psychic.

If it made it into the live system and it doesn't work as expected, then it's the users' own fault for signing off the testing phase, because their user acceptance testing was clearly crap.

/ That feels much better. Thank you.

# Total Annihilation had a really good fly swarm effect
the movement looked quite organic until you notice they never flew at angles.
