Two Worst Days In The World

1) The day before you take some extra days off.

2) The day you return from those days.

The day before I put in overtime trying to fix a server bug. The day I get back I’ve spent most of the day fixing stuff the people have broken while I’ve been gone. Finally getting caught up a bit and will hopefully share some links I’ve collected later tonight (just finished adding a bunch of blogs to Bend Blogs).

My birthday was fine, had a nice lazy four days off, but I’ve decided that I need to quit taking days off work. As the singular decision maker and tech guy, people have become so reliant on me (for better or for worse) that sometimes even stupidly easy stuff baffles them. Stuff I have throughly documented and things that I’ve answered the questions to a ton of times are apparently stupidly complicated if I’m not here to answer them or at least bounce ideas off of.
