Good morning, welcome to work.

So I sent out my description of the issues to after-hours, along with a note that we needed to find out if X (the most recent theory I'd heard) was really the cause, and if so, deal with it.

Got a phone call from D (a database guy), who was angry at me that I hadn't called to check my facts first. Okay:

1. On Thursday, early morning, a message proposing X as the cause and describing exactly how it could/would be the cause was sent to myself, D, M (another database guy), and a few other people, by my boss.

2. There were absolutely no replies, which I checked for this morning before sending my email.

Now D explains that M has a theory about this, Y, which is much more plausible, yadda yadda. So I listened to it, and agreed that it was more plausible. But why is he angry with me for not calling to check and see if there were new theories? What happened to emailing everyone involved in an email exchange with followup? Why is it so wrong to assume, in a vacuum, that if you have heard/seen only one working theory, that is the current working theory?

Should I call everyone who might have a changed idea, every time anything happens?

Yuck.

My nose is stuffed up, my throat is bugging me, and I ache. I hate colds, and I hate sleeping poorly.

Just for the record. Now, to get that conversion program done....

Good things.

A fun scene with Zulaikh, even if I was out of it for much of the first part.

Got some work done, at work. Yay, getting things done.

Hanging out with friends. Connection.

And bed. Bed sounds really good right now....
