Life Imitates Test Data

At work I've spent most of the past year's work as an IT tester working on an extremely complex work allocation function as part of a housing management system. Some of my test data is somewhat humourous; I've got aging rock stars as operatives, "Disinfestation of rats and mice" as one of the jobs, and "Sharp pointy stick" as one of the required material items. Little did I know that reality would catch up!

Update: Now it seems that "Disinfestation of Pigeons" needs a Pelican.
