Monday
Alex: I'll call it FINAL. I know what it is.
Famous last words.
Rex's first year · Story 7
Four files called FINAL
The same drainage drawing, two weeks before it goes anywhere near site.
Rex's diary
Rex's diary, before this story. Week 11. Alex says his file names explain themselves. I've seen his folder. We'll see.
Just a file name
Wednesday
A comment comes back. Then another. Each new copy gets a slightly more desperate name.
Thursday
Dave: Four of them?! Which one's the latest?
Rex: "The one that says USE THIS?"
Thursday
He picks "latest USE THIS". Of course he does. It's the copy Alex was still scribbling on, and nothing on it says draft.
Friday
Megan (document controller): Which project? Which area? Is it even approved? I can't file this.
Slowly losing the will to live.
The result
Two hours of phone calls to work out which drawing was right. Next week? Same again.
Four files called FINAL.
