..Monday, I went to a meeting late in the day and was presented with
diagram by engineer A with new configuration rules for a product I'm
documenting.
Tuesday morning: I looked at the diagram and realized that the "rules" were
wrong. I called engineer A who told me the rules came from engineer B.
Tuesday afternoon: I contacted engineer B with the diagram. He told me
engineer B's diagrams were wrong and he would take care of it.
Wednesday, based on a note from engineer B, I update the manual.
Thursday, 5:00pm. Engineer A contacted me. He told me Engineer B was wrong
and that we all needed to meet.
Thurday, 6:00pm. We meet. They're both wrong and come to a consensus on
what's right. However, the final review of the book starts Friday at 10
am.........
