A conversation
Setting - My office
Time - Thursday Morning
Customer
Remember when we said we wanted your design to act according to this spec? Well, we've changed our mind. Here, have a new version of the spec.
Me
Ok, I can change that, it should be just a software fix. I'll need to get ahold of the part since I don't trust you to make the upgrade yourself without bricking it and I know you are on a tight schedule.
Customer
Cool, can you come out here to do the software upgrade and teach us how to do it? We've attached the part to a plane and don't know how to take it off in less than three days.
Me
Um... ok... When?
Customer
Could you be here Monday (and therefore leave on Sunday to get here)?
Me
Thats rather sudden.
Boss
I legally can't let you leave town until this other project that has been going horribly is finished for customer 2. However, since customer 1 is so much more important to us, I'm going to send you out Sunday. Good luck and Godspeed.
