Bug in production

The story takes place in a e-commerce company.

Jane is a developer. She is responsible for the payment pipeline feature. She spent the last weeks fixing several bugs in emergency, late in the evening. When the stress falls down (which is rare), her motivation is low and she spend most of her time online on personal hobbies.

Henry is the project manager. His bonus is directly linked to the revenue and Christmas is coming! Any mistake would be damaging for the company and for his career. He observed (again) a bug in production on the payment pipeline. This time the bug is very critical. Henry is under a high level of stress, especially since he was informed that few members of his team were accessing to illicit online websites.

Last discussions between Jane and Henry were cordial but tensed. Today Henry bursts into Jane’s office to talk about the bug in production..

A romantic weekend

Mickael and Gina are a young couple. Both of them have time-taking jobs and travel often. Weekends are privileged moments to spend time together and recharge their batteries. Mickael and Gina generally spend their weekends watching wrestling on TV. Mickael enjoys it but Gina doesn’t. She never said it to Mickael and even comment the match to please him. ��This weekend, Gina’s mother celebrates her birthday at her house with the whole family, just like every year. Gina knows about the event for one month and forgot to inform Mickael. She is happy to spend a weekend in the countryside, among her family and far from wrestling. On his side Mickael organized a surprise and bought wrestling tickets few months ago. He has prepared the weekend in detail and get stressed easily facing unexpected issues. Gina will be impressed when she will know the hard work he put into this surprise. He is so excited!

It’s Friday evening, Gina comes back home, they start discussing the program for the weekend.

The concert

The Desmond family recently moved to San Francisco following Marc’s professional transfer. Marc is Sophie’s father. Sophie is a 15-year old teenager. She sees this new move as totally unfair.

Despite this, Sophie managed to make some friends, sharing the same passion. They will all go to a concert at the end of this week. One of her favorite DJ will be performing Friday, starting from 10PM. Sophie needs to ask for the permission to go, she knows her parents will say no but her friends push her to try, she is ready to confront her parents. When Sophie talks about it to her father, Marc loses his temper and Sophie becomes very emotional.
