No problem is worth fixing unless you know how it breaks a valuable best-practice.
The Structure of a Best Practice:
-Description
-Trigger Event
-End-State
-Stakeholders, Orgs & Roles
-Systems
-Pre-Existing Conditions
-Scope
-Steps
-Metrics
The context of Problems that cause failure:
-Problems within Pre-Existing Conditions
-Problems within Steps
First, understand what Success looks like. Then understand how the problem makes it Unsuccessful.
Father in law had successful surgery, but now we know it's cancer.
Prognosis still TBD.
Next big question will be: Do you want to go through chemo and feel like shit for, potentially, years? Or, live out your last days with a slow decline.
At 88, these are already the bonus years of life.
I think we all need to consider that we will, one day, face our last day alive. That's ok. It's nature doing what it does. Maybe the more we consider it when we are approaching that day the easier it will be
More family medical issues:
Father in law checked himself into the hospital. Too much pain. He's going into surgery at 4pm (90 mins). Hospital is in Southern California. We're in Northern California. Wife considering flying down this afternoon.
We just did this in February with her brother going into surgery.
I'm fine, btw. Wife is a bit shaken, but steady.
I believe it's worth considering that there will always be a large group of people who never learn from their mistakes or recognize that their opinions are thoroughly refuted by new facts.
There is a sucker born every minute.
Most of them remain suckers their entire lives.
What a morning.
Internet down.
But was it?
Modem reboot (X5).
No service-outage in the area.
Passive switch unplugged & replugged 2X.
Hardline computer into modem.
Hair falling out.
Wife bitter and missing meetings.
All now fixed. Magically.
I have no idea wtf was causing it.
Now I'm going to go down a rabbit hole to offload the routing and DHCP to a separate device. That may not have even been the problem.
Definition of insanity.....
