mid-insight

i'd gotten a couple of really important sentences written down, and had just realized something important about sonnet 12 when scr called with good news - microsoft had finally (almost twelve hours later) gotten our azure database accessible again. we spent the next two hours tentatively running, tweaking, and testing, and eventually gave up when the system hit the same damned brick wall. and nobody from microsoft was around to help us, so we'll have to wait until they get back to us again.

lesson one: murphy was right. and i'm tired; i'm not being paid enough for this shit.

lesson two: if you're thinking of using azure for critical business applications, don't. it's an unfinished product with no support.
