Smirk has a theory that every ten days or so, things go crazy and it's difficult to cope with what's being thrown at you.
Today is a day ten (short version—no Internet at Casa New Jersey, which means no email (and the troubles in getting an alternative email server set up), and many pointless trips to a customer site trying to get a new router configured).
But, despite how bad my day was, it wasn't as bad as Spring's [1], who had to endure a company work reschedule, a late train, and is now stuck in Atlanta due to a cancelled flight (she's on her way to visit The Kids in Colorado), and that's just the not so bad things that happened.
