As I understand she mistyped the amount. What I`m wondering is how big is the difference with the amount she was supposed to spend and the 251 million (was it zero(s) at the end? or should the 2 in the front have been a 1 ???). her company is looking at a paper loss of more than $12 million Does the 12 million dollar paper loss of the company mean she spend 12 million too much? Or perhaps they needed to spend 12 million dollar on paper to print out a receipt for each share bought :-D But still, if I had a newby in the company 'accidently' spending even 1 million too much, I think I`ld fire the person too...
Also fire the dipwad that authorized the software. Also, spend 12 million on better software while they are at it :|

I see where all this is going. Confirmation boxes for the confirmation boxes that confirm that the above confirmation are confirmed to be confirmed. Someone get me some aspirin. :^)
We are going to need a MUCH larger roll of duct tape for this one :doh:

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
