    Did that over and over job before last.

    CFO was complaining about how much time “her girls” spent daily on a task.

    “You’re scanning CSVs with you eyeballs?! I can make that go away.”

    She didn’t understand what I was saying, so I went behind her back to her second in command.

    “Send me a couple of example files.”

    Within 2-hours we were ready to test. Perfect. My god accounting loved me.
