It's been a rough week. Company policy is that I can't talk about operations on the Internet so I won't go into further detail in an effort to avoid prosecution. I feel like that scene in Ghostbusters, you know, Dr. Venkman's study on the effect of negative reinforcement on ESP? It's like I have to guess what's going on, and if I guess wrong I get tazered (hypothetically speaking of course).
So apparently you need to be at the top of this curve to maximize efficiency. And this curve is different for everyone...mine is probably much steeper uphill.
Recommendations for defeating this curve include things such as monitoring physical signs of stress (headaches, tiredness, etc.) and immediately enacting some sort of stress reliever to get you back to an even keel. This probably explains people's hip flasks. Can't use that solution.
Anyway, it has gotten better today, Megs has been very supportive (even in the presence of sick kids), so I'm looking forward to ending the week and enjoying the four day weekend.

On a sad note, my Uncle Don passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. He was one of the most kind-hearted, intelligent, patient men I ever knew. Always had a smile, loved to travel, play cards, and engage in conversation. He spent winters in Alaska as a soldier, and summer tending to his countless gardens. Best green thumb I ever met.
Peace be with you, Uncle Don.
