The design is complete. We're starting a prototype run of 500 toasters tomorrow. I'm starting to wrap up the engineering effort. Suddenly, a major snag happened. Bob called me into his office.
Delivery is due in three months.
I found into it, whip up some code, and ship to the end user. We're seeing some reliability problems due to the temperature extremes, but I'm sure we can work those out. He went back to design Revision J of the pc board. We've cured most of the electronics' temperature problems with a pair of fans, though management is complaining about the noise. Bob sits in his office all day, door locked, drinking Jack Daniels.
