Day 31
A major, high profile problem popped up at work this week. Nobody had the expertise to fix it. Nobody knew who to contact to fix it. I'd had some surface level involvement with it in the past, so I was approached about a solution. My immediate thought was, "Oh shit...did I misunderstand something when I was involved and inadvertently set us up for failure? Shit Shit Shit!". I was anxious, but it wasn't earth-shattering. In the end, I dug into the issue and offered several possible problem areas to the people troubleshooting the problem. One of those potential problem areas was indeed the problem. Now it's fixed and for at least a moment, I was the hero. There was a time that the stress of the situation would've destroyed my ability to think and methodically step through the issue. That wasn't the case this time. OFv3 pulled me (and the company) out of a bind...a big one.
I've joined the 2:2:2 club (2 loops, ASRB2 2:2). I started last night and I slept like a rock. It was tough to get out of bed this morning, but I felt good all day. I'm looking forward to another good night of sleep tonight.
