Dear end users in the accounting department,
Why do you make me prove the same thing to you over and over?
When a program runs, there is no distinction between the contract numbers that come out on every page. If a calculation works for one contract, that calculation will work for all contracts. If I prove the same calculation to you on seven or eight contracts, why do you need me to prove the calculation again on a ninth? Is it not possible for you to verify the calculation if you are insecure about the number on the report? Are you too stupid? Are you too lazy? Is it both? Do you know how time consuming it is for me to comb through thousands of pages of raw data to show you that, once again, the numbers on your report are accurate?
Please rot in hell and die,
One incredibly irritated IT guy
