Lessons learned this week. First, I enjoy a good crisis as much as any tech, though I prefer those punctuated by brief moments of calmness. Solving a nasty four month old problem merits a wee break. At least to me, I think it does. Like just enough time for a bathroom round trip before the utility company snuffs the power to campus.

By the end of the day I laughed. I must confess I did not in the moment.

Better still, I learned that a coworkers best friend is an editor at Harcourt.

The people you meet when you wander the halls.
