Asking for a friend.

If not, I totally understand. I had one asshole of a boss who gave me a project to finish during Christmas week. "Take all the time you need ". Well, since it was data acquisition and plotting, I knocked it out in short order.

When the project lead started to use it, he was thrilled and asked for ZERO fixes.

Well, I hope that you got some extra pay for your holiday toil.
