Tuesday, 7:36 AM. I am just about ready to fall asleep on my feet. I've been here at the office since 8PM, manning the offshift operations with Lem. It was a relatively quiet, issue-free night. Only one issue being tossed back and forth between customer and client, with my company in between trying to hold this thing together. It still took up most of our time, but I'd rathered that it was one issue than a whole bushel of 'em. Count your blessings.

Apparently the attempt to do a perfect emulation of an existing sytem, never ends up perfect. And there's no way to find out about that until the day you roll it out into the world. It's like a newborn baby, you never know if it's got buck teeth or a double chin until it comes out and you see it for the first time. But then you realize that it's not a life-altering defect (depends on where you stand with buck teeth and double chins. I definitely have them off the facial-features-that-makes-one-cute category. Nothing against those quirks, I'm just more of a dimples kind of guy.). You live with it, or you take it to the family plastic surgeon for a little "tweaking."

It's like that at work now. There's a lot of things that we're seeing for the first time. We're fumbling along, albeit nicely, and we're still in control. I could do without the added stress, but it's nothing that I can handle. Good times.
