Why is it that things always seem so simple once they're done?So there I sit in our Network Operations Center, on one of many jet black adjustable bar stools, trying to explain to my boss what has transpired over the last 10 hours. "So? Is it fixed?" He asks me with obvious trepidation. "Yea. I finally got it," I say."Well? What was it?""Oh," I sort of glance around a bit. "It was a check box.""
