                                  Mea culpa

Today felt like a Day Ten [1]. Went to bed around 5:30 am (which is my usual
bedtime) only to get a call at 10:30 am from Smirk about a problem, and had
to drive to Boca Raton [2] to get it resolved (normally, I get to work from
home).

Looking back at it, I've had worse days. It wasn't like I was dealing with
obsolete computers from Hell [3], or on a business trip from Hell [4], or
even dealing with Russian hackers from Hell breaking into a server during a
hurricane [5]. Nope, nothing quite as bad as any of that.

But it was my fault for getting that call after five hours of sleep at the
ungodly hour of 10:30 am, and because it was my fault, that made it all the
worse. To make me feel even lower, the issue itself was resolved rather
quickly (instead of being handled on Friday, when I said I would handle it—
sigh).
