Scenario: on the day a flag-ship high-rise is to be unveiled, the AC conks out.
Go through your scenario compacted into a 6 hour period.
A grizzled grumpy ace is called in.
He scours the blue-prints, plans, crawl spaces, and eventually asks for access to one closet (let's say).
Eye-balling the contents he draws up to one assembly and locks onto one module.
Going into his kit he pulls out a silver hammer and *whack!* everything purrs into action.

He submits a bill for $25K.
They balk, and ask that it be itemized.

* Hitting with hammer: $9
* Knowing where to hit: $24,991

I was solo on Pin 3 responsible for NORAD/SAC comms south to Cheyenne Mountain.
If comms failed nearest more expert was ?what? at least 12 hrs away.
When things went wrong I was expected to fix it in less than 3 minutes.
Almost as fun as tennis!
*grin*

Insight isn't to be confused with knowledge. The difference is like training contra education.

cheers

The interesting thing here is that by all of us being so very “connected”, what I am finding is that it can really distance us from more vivid relationships.

While on vacation, I can most certainly relate to the hole you can get into. I always joke it takes me 3 weeks to dig out from 1 week of vacation.

In essence though, our electronic connectivity is tearing the very fabric of our human relationships, in my humble opinion. I feel this need to “stay in touch”. But when I step back and evaluate what is driving that need – that is when I actually see what is important… Not that I have successfully conquered that last mile, my friend!

Indeed, I have a long way left to travel on this front. Now my burning question is how to seek harmony and balance in this new age of information overload!

I had an associate who had some issues resynching a blackberry to the new corporate server and he completely lost his mind when he couldn't access his e-mail, calendar and contacts on his BB. Amazing that his life ground to halt without it. What did you do before you had all this technology helping you? How about a coffee shop?
