In the April of 2002, the Owens-Corning Fiberglass plant in Fairburn, GA contacted Levi Smith about a software development opportunity. The company does not have a computing, software, or technical department. Computing work is done by outside contractors, and some software development is done by managers without formal technical training. The task would require that a new module be added to their Overtime Maintenance software system. The Overtime Maintenance system required designing tables in Microsoft Access and creating user interface sceens in Visual Basic for Applications. Levi Smith was a student at Georgia Tech specializing in Software Engineering, and would graduate with a bachelor's degree in May 2002. Mr. Smith had already accepted an opportunity to work full time in Oak Ridge, TN upon graduation. Mr. Smith accepted the work assignment at Owens-Corning, since it was agreed that it was a temporary position not to exceed two weeks. Mr. Smith agreed to work at a reasonable hourly rate, and the money earned would help him relocate to Tennessee for his permanent job. At first, Levi Smith was contacted by Tom Hiney about a work opportunity.
