Oh goodness. Now I know how users feel by merlin 2009-03-31 15:44:13
when we fall off into geek babble and assume they'll understand.

I'm making a change to an interface to our financials system, and I needed some clarification from the users. So, I send off an email.

Me: In this process we are loading to batch ABC123. I need to know what the new batch name is for the new system.

User: ABC is now going to be 17.

Me: I thought the new numbers were 5 digit.

Other User: Yes, so the new batch name is 17123.

Me: Well, duh. Thanks!!!
