Unexpectedly...
The Mature Woman - reprises her MILF (1988 ~ 28)
Since Lynn and I had last fucked, our work life adopted a new normal. No fucking! We both understood the change and it didn't interfere with our work or our daily relationship. So, for the following few weeks, everything was fine, work wise. However, I'd had to resurrect my toy Cunty on occasion to ease the "tension"!
The Computer System had been operating for almost a year by then, so it was decided that we would archive some data and reorganise/compact the databases. We did backups first; ran all sorts of reconciliation stuff, before and after; then more backups! All was fine.
Then it all got blown up when there was a problem with the newly introduced month end analysis routine, which had thrown up some really large, odd numbers on a particular component. Paul, in Warrington, had suggested that it was our problem, as we had recently archived and reorganised our databases. Whilst I doubted it, I was under pressure, with Rob calling me to "fix it as soon as possible".
I had spent a couple of fruitless days trying to get to the bottom of it, leaving Lynn to run the majority of the daily workload. It was late one afternoon and I was in our office outside the computer room, feeling really frustrated at not understanding what was going wrong. So much so, I stood up, banged the desk and shouted a loud "Fuck", much to the surprise of everyone else in the outer office. "Sorry, sorry", I called out, holding up my hands.
Lynn came in, a stern look on her face and said, "You've got too close to this, you can't see the wood for the trees. You've told me often enough that sometimes you need to move away and come back with fresh eyes."
Pausing then pointing, she added, "Go in there and get changed. Go for a run, for at least half an hour and think about anything else but this."
I was about to object but the look on her face and the dawning realisation she was right, stemmed my response. I changed into my running gear and left for a run, trying hard not to think of anything! When I got back, the office was empty. It was 5:10. I went into the coolness of the computer room, towelled down and put a clean tee-shirt on.
Lynn was already in and made me sit down by the monitor and told me to explain the problem, slowly and in detail. So I talked the new report problem through with her, pausing and clarifying points as she asked questions. Sometimes they were just "So?" or "And?" or "Why?" or "Prove it, show me". Some of the things she raised were daft, but then so was the problem, seemingly. Eventually, we hit on a slightly unusual approach. With a quick bit of "dirty" real-time coding I got the program to step through, displaying data as it went. When it got to the "offending" part I forced a data dump. Pages of it!
We trolled through it, looking for we knew not what! Until Lynn said "That can't be right. Did you say that was the supplier data?"
"Yes, it collects customer then supplier data." I replied.
"But that's not a supplier's code, it's Westland's. They're a customer!"
"What?" I asked uncertainly.
