but dammit, there are times that make you wonder -
"If I had not said what I said, would what had happened have happened"
earlier this week, I was thinking about the different applications for which I am responsible, and I said (to myself) "Hey self, you know, these programs are running really smoothly - I haven't had to think about them in quite some time. I guess I ironed out all of the wrinkles"
then today, when i get in, there is voicemail waiting for me... it was a freaked out partner saying how all of his data in the inventory universe is missing and that it was my fault and that I should get my s#!% together or get the f&@% out...
well, not quite that, maybe just the first 10 or 11 words... apparently some automatic triggers were a little off causing this comotion, that, mixed with the fact this partner is on paternity (yes, paternity) leave, the message I would have had yesterday afternoon didn't come across my field of view until this morning...
[When I was in Japan, there was a group call "Field of View" that sang a song called Do-tzuzen (All of a sudden) - it was pretty catchy and I used to know all of the words... but alas, alack... my memory fades - but I digress]
Anyhow, so I had to hustle and get help from my team members to fix this, which our primary support person has so graciously volunteered to do - or, rather, was required to do... but I'm glad he's doing it, all the same...
But he said "You know Ryan, this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't thought about it..."
and I said...
"Yeah... shut up..."
