School of hard knocks

Well, I've been learning plenty this week, but it's not what I had hoped to be studying. A nightmarish series of production failures at work have meant 12-15 hour days at work; much of it on the phone with Microsoft figuring out why our databases, that have functioned just fine up until last Monday, are suddenly unstable.

Obviously, self-directed study gets put on hold in such cases. My concern is that if something like this happens when school is in session, it could be a real problem. I'll have to remember to stay a bit ahead in my studies so I can take a hit like this without failing an exam.
