One Apple A Day #33
“This is insane! I can’t believe. You, stupid program, why are you doing this to me?”
Mike is fighting again with his computer. No better, with the accountancy software in his computer. It’s Friday, 3 pm. It happened every week at 3 pm on Friday since they set up our new accountancy system. On Friday, after lunch, everyone in the team must close all the positions opened during the week. It’s a simple task but not for Mike. Every week, after he logs in using his login and password something goes wrong. I’m not sure if it’s something in the setup of his computer, the IT guys haven’t been able to find out a solution. They tried everything but each Friday, about 30 minutes after the login, the software breaks down. I’m pretty sure they decided to stand down. Only Jake keeps looking into the logs hoping to have a breakthrough.
I heard that at some point someone called a hacker in the hope that he was able to break in and solve the problem in alternative ways. I guess it didn’t work out as expected.
So, for now, we are still enjoining the weekly breakdown of Mike against the software. The epic battle between humans and machines. We are all supporting Mike but it looks like that the machine is still winning the war.
