shit hitteth the fan

in the form of the client screaming that they wanted their documents yesterday.

that resulted in the following chain of events

Big Boss got Shat on
-->
Bi.g Boss Shat on Two Smaller (but still big) Bosses
-->
Two Smaller (but still big) Bosses Shat on (no surprise there), ME.

At 1am, when everyone was tired after being shat on all day, the last we wanted to do was debate over some incomprehensible Islamic concept which didn't make sense from a commercial perspective.

I wished I could skewer the people who just were nit-bloody-picky, but those people were the Syariah advisers. I'd be in serious violation of Islamic principles.
