Today at work...

So, I'm working on an XSLT stylesheet to transform data from a Loan Application to the XML format that the bank requires on their host system.

(Basicly 90% of my job is move this field over there, and get that field and put it back here)

Anyway... Going through the documentation, I've got the logical tags you'd expect in a loan application, most with an obvious meaning, or a description that says what it's for

<AccountNumber>
<FirstName>
<LoanDt>

I just came across one <PerformAnal> with no documentation to say what it's for.

I'd say someone in the data definition department dropped the soap on that one.

Haha... that's great. You figure someone must have done that on purpose.
I'm actually guilty of a similar crime... My boss asked to compile some yearly inventory reports to view in a concise format, so I created the:

Annual
Net
Usage
Summary

No one really got it the whole meeting, so I at the end I forced to say something like: "So in conclusion, the Anus looks pretty bad this year. I figure with some extra treatment, it will grow considerably over the next fiscal period."

They fired the only guy that thought it was funny
(not for that reason though).
