Doing some sysadminning. I feel sick with anxiety. Can't believe my income (such as it was) used to depend on my doing tasks I hate soooo much.
Okay. I seem to have completely destroyed my ability to send email. I'm going to stop fixing things for today.

… and like magic, the minute I surrender in despair, all the test email I sent turns up in one hit. Anything, _anything_, to do with networking that looks like it failed is quite likely to have just unpredictably succeeded.

This is why the whole business is so stomach-churningly fraught.

@katyswain I too used to get distressed about making things work. Join me on the broken side.
