Ghost In The Machine
Whoo boy. One of those days. It started off by being horribly redundant in what I was required to do and then it just got messed up from there.
Have you ever had really odd and unexplainable stuff occur on your computer or network? Not OE (operator error) type of stuff, but really mysterious things? For example, tonight I'm trying my darndest to get a file output and it isn't working and causing much grief so I try rebooting one of the machines I am working with and suddenly two files start spooling over -- from a machine that was not even in use! These files just came out of nowhere and started processing. Where were they prior to their appearance? Just floating in the ether(net)? Stuck in queue? Man, it was frustrating as these ghost files were totally screwing up my job and delaying me by well over an hour. Urgh. To top it off, they didn't even output properly. Really. If a ghost file is gonna screw me up, it should at least be correct.
