Yup! The first, and biggest expense is paying someone to dig a hole deep enough to have water in it.

Well, some women might be like tires, others are merely tiresome...

A number of months ago the business paid an external company to do something because they listened to the salesman and not us who knew what we were talking about.
We had to modify some of our processes to manipulate data and move some files around for this new thing to then do its stuff.
I remember sitting in the original meeting when the salesman said what they could do and thinking to myself I don't understand how that will work.
After they bought it and we had more meetings I kept saying it wouldn't work. It just makes no sense to me. It's not quite 7 red lines, but still made no sense.
I was told to do my thing and this other company would do the rest.
I kept insisting it wouldn't work, until it got to the point where I just started to say each and every time "I don't care anymore. I've tried to warn you, when it doesn't work I'm going to wear a crown".
Tomorrow I get to wear a crown to work for the day.

Congrats!!Order an Expensive Crown and Charge the company!!!!

Ah yes, just a typical day at the office: never mind what the technical guy says, he's the eternal pessimist.
Enjoy your crown. Maybe they have learned something but the odds are minimal.

Just make sure it's a crown and not a tiara.

I've been threatening to get a box of burger king crowns for this kind of thing for about a year.
I could put them mockingly on people's desks when they say something stupid with conviction, put them on my head for my "I was right! victory laps" It'd be fun. It'd get me fired.... but it MIGHT be worth it.
And congratulations.

Go on...you know what to do...go in tomorrow in a gold lame suit, shades and with a bucket of burgers.
You might have to put on some weight to pull it off convincingly though...

Maybe if you had just done your job, instead of complaining that it will not work, it may have worked.

So if I hadn't said I didn't understand what this other company were going to do the thing they did that I had nothing whatsoever to do with and have no ability to effect in anyway would have worked?
I must be f***ing magic.
I did spend a couple of hours today checking that our side of things is working exactly as they say it should. However as what they do with the files once they are in the directory they want them in is completely beyond the access and knowledge of everyone in our company there's not much more I could do beyond documenting exactly what is and isn't happening and with a number of examples and pass it on to the PM to contact them.
