thoughts from the desert

Pipe

yesterday, Serafin, a Philippino, came to the office for some training/guidance on how to use our software.

Karel was guiding him and showing him the way while he was writing down notes and instructing us about a real life example.

So we ask: “give us an item to add to this Work Order”
Serafin: “CL-PIPE82″

we try to look for it… nothing comes up on the screen… so we bring the whole list up, and still we can’t see it…

Serafin: “there it is… that’s the one… CL-PIPE82″
and points to the screen

then it dawned on us!! Philippinos pronounce the “F” as “P” and the “V” as “B”!!
the item number was “CL-582″!!!!!!

and the mistery of the pipe solved too!

now we’ve notived the

good laugh to kick of an early morning!



What next?
