I have no children of my own (none that I know of at least *knocks on wood*), but i can't help but relate to the scenes you see in movies set back in the 60's and 70's were a father waits outside of the delivery room to hear if his new baby boy or girl has arrived.
What's all the screaming? What's going on in there?!? Every now and then someone pops their head out and asks a question like, "Have you traveled out of the country recently?" WTF does that mean? Are you asking me that because something bad is happening?
Yes. I think I'm losing it, but today I've gotten voicemails and emails from the hard drive recovery service asking me questions that are too non sequitor for me to gauge how their progress is coming along.
"Can we contact you after business hours?" -- Yes, you can wake me up with an ice bath at 3am, as long as you say you found our database.
"We discovered this drive is fucked" -- Yes, that's why I sent it to you.
"These drives seem to be intact, but how long was this other drive being used?" -- Intact is good, right?
Aggggghhhhh!!! In other news, the server seems to be liking the heavy caching we're doing.
I need a drink.
