335/365; A Barrel Of Beer

This time the beer was not for me, neither did I taste it.

There is a little story behind this one.
One of our customers reported a problem in march 2013. After much blood and sweat we were still not able to solve it. Whenever I saw the ticket in my list I would cringe. Seriously, we tried everything. We even had external specialists come in for it.

Then about a month ago we hired a new guy in our ICT. He is a specialist in the field where we thought the problem originated from. We asked him to look into it. Soon afterwards he told me that he might have a solution. I was surprised but didn't rejoice yet. Many had thought they knew the solution and failed.

So I told him, if he really solved the problem, I would not get him a beer but a whole barrel... well, he solved the problem. I kept my promise and got him a barrel of beer. So that's how I came around to buy my first barrel of beer.
