Well bless. I've been pounding my way through some work in prep for a call at 2pm. I send out an e-mail with the files related to the call at 1:50pm. Then I realize the call is 2pm Pacific. So I have an hour. Yes, there is lots of other stuff I could work on in that hour, but I'm taking at least 30 min to myself. I already have over 8 hours in today.

It could be worse. It could have happened today. We have time to regroup.

Oh no- I am so sorry Cash. Was he still doing marketing even though he is an actuary? (or something like that, I am not sure I remember)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Consuela, Cash...aargh. Want redo.
I have a truculent developer. I suppose it's best to be cautious when you have no fucking idea what you're doing, but when you shut everything down, the next step is to FIND OUT what you're doing. She's the one that was going to shut down the services in an indeterminate state of migration and take Tuesday off. I talked her out of that (which was perfect--we had much crisis yesterday, and she was needed anyway).
Now she's sure we can't use the new servers, because there are HARD CODED LINKS in the application. Two of the hard coded links are to servers belonging to the company we separated from two years ago, and the third is to a server in dev.
So, who has an exclamation point in her name and doesn't give a fuck? Yeah, that girl. But she won't turn the servers back on, in case we mess up production. PRODUCTION OF WHO??? The company that sold us 2 years ago? They kind of severed the link between our networks. But she won't take my word for it, because she finally believes I'm not a developer.
What marvellous timing.
Oh, wait...she just worked out that she was wrong and I was right. That shit keeps happening. It's really weird. I don't know what's up....
How can I tell our manager that she keeps hogging the toys and won't let anyone else play with them, even though we're behind schedule? It's such a ridiculous thing to accuse anyone of, because her reasoning for doing it is so weak.
