My only guess is a batch job that really really doesn't want data changing out from under it (and the devs were too lazy to batch up the next days changes to be submitted post-job).
- protomyth 13y agoI think you have it. 11:45PM sounds suspiciously like the batch job kicks off at midnight and should be done by opening of business the next day. I figure if it looks like it will go over 8AM then they have to kill it because the office staff is going to change data regardless of what IT wants.

- protomyth 13y agoThere is no money to "fix" and IT system that "works". Think of the children you'll be taking money from to pay for this non-essential work. Why yes, I have been in THAT meeting, just not in Delaware.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoShit like this makes my blood boil.
- protomyth 13y agoThe true blood boiler is when the system finally collapses and IT gets hit with the "why didn't you fix this before it collapsed"-lecture from the same folks who wouldn't give you the budget to fix it in the first place. This is generally followed by the hiring of some consulting firm to propose the solution you wanted budget for at a fair multiple of the original budget. They, after all, are consultants and you are a peon.
