My boss just nominated me and every programmer on my team (well, not "just", we just got the certificates) for outstanding achievement for our dedication in the face of all these crazy issues.
It's very cool. And totally meaningless, too, because the fact of the matter is that while we have done so much, we don't have all the issues resolved yet, so we get to keep doing it. But it makes me feel a bit less like an ineffective failure for not having managed to be a miracle-worker.
I just hope we can pull all of this off in the time-frames now being set.
(And my headache is milder but still present, but I now have a conference call at 2 pm as well as the training to support, so....)
[2:20 update - my boss got back in time to take the conference call, so I'm still working on these bugs. Happier....]
