Scraping the bottom of the barrel

Monday comes around and after a pleasant hour arranging a field trip, my boss calls me into the office and tells me I'm in the QA (Quality Assurance) department for the next couple of weeks.

Bang goes the field trip, but up comes the system in its close to final form.

Struggling to use the damn thing, I'm reminded that I've spent close to 20 years wrestling with software that doesn't work properly... By the time it does approach reliability, it's months since the manul and help have been written.

Oh well, it's nice to be wanted, and change is a change although not as good as a rest.
