When you proclaim to solve a technical problem and a non-technical person asks what you did...

Me: "Well, it was complaining that it couldn't find a database by its alias name and then I realized the alias name was being applied to stored procedures used inline with the query but it had to be used on the fields being passed into those procedures instead."

Them: "Those sound like English words..."

Me: "I named the Table A and put the A's in the wrong spot."

Them (dubiously): "Oh, okay..."


They knew they wouldn't understand my answer. I knew they wouldn't understand my answer. Yet they ask anyways 😅
