Trouble shooting under stress

I thought I knew stress. I am no stranger to production environment hot fixes, day before deadline all night rush, and recently getting a feature in production 30 minutes before a demo.

But it wasn’t until today, at my niece’s 8th birthday party did I truly appreciate what true stress is. Imagine 16 pre-teen girls all around you, screaming at the top of their collective little but efficient lungs, while you are trying to figure out why the cheap made in China knock-off wee-mote (sic) will not sync with your Wii.

The good news is i manage to get the Wii started. However, a little piece of my sanity died today.
