Fire!

[Wednesday 28th January]
Bit of a software related disaster at work today (we tend to refer to these incidents somewhat over-dramatically as "fires"). A component owned by our project had managed to crash a shared piece of infrastructure used by a lot of other products at the company. Whilst this didn't really have anything to do with me, I inevitably become embroiled in the firefighting that ensued.

Quite a stressful day really - tempers were definitely getting a little frayed, which is very much a rarity at my place, but we did eventually get everything back up and running, and when all the dust had settled it appears the impact was probably not too severe. More loss of face than loss of revenue.

What with working lots of long hours (and the desire to go out in the evenings on occasions when I don't have to work long hours), it seems as though I haven't been cooking much recently. I feel a definite sense of duty to cook a nice meal for Chie once in a while, so today I profited from the fact she went to her Wednesday yoga class to knock up a whole three courses - a mozarella and tomato salad to start, followed by a lasagne, then raspberries and cream for dessert.

Internal jargon has always fascinated me. Nice one... :P
