rolling stones and Projects from Hell

[sergebroom]

I'm back. The last few days have been busy. On Sunday, after I was done with my landscaping, I thought I could enjoy some rest at last. What fools these mortals be! On Sunday night, the Project from Hell came back to life, due to some problem, which too many people on the team blamed on how I had designed the Project. At about midnight, I was able to get off the phone and the team's experts took over. The next day, the issue turned out to have been caused not by my design but by a recent database upgrade. By the time a solution was found, this had gotten in the way of enjoying Sue's return from her vacation, during which she almost fell down some stairs. She caught herself in time but not without slamming her ribs into the ramp. The pain today was pretty bad so I drove her to the doc then back home, where I resumed my telecommuting and some urgent projects, while of course being there to do whatever taks was required by Sue, what with her reduced mobility. Like I said, busy, busy, busy...

Things have quieted down so I thought I'd post an entry. Remember this photo that I put up in my landscaping gallery on 2007-05-28? Click on it then from there to the next photos and you'll see what it all looks like now.

That's good, that you're not feeling much pain. Hmm. Must be the Quebecois applejack...

Haven't had anything Québécois since my last brief visit in 2004. The only explanation must be my natural stoicism. ("Your what?" my wife would say.)

That has to be the case.
