Wish I knew.

I’ve been banging my head on a problem all week long, really stretching back into January honestly, on a system I’m not very familiar with, written in a language that I am not fluent in. Yesterday, I was done, at my end. Going to call up the boss and tell him “Sorry, I can’t do this” and then, what, quit?

Decided to sleep on it.

Woke up this morning with the solution in my head, ready to go. Had it implemented in 90 minutes. Spent the day testing it between meetings. It’s working.

I can only say, Hallelujah!
