Implementation

We went live with a site a week or so ago. It happened to be a public holiday, so I was not at work while the site was brought up. Like all IT implementations, this one was quite frantic - things going wrong at the last minute, small issues back and forth. Phone calls here there and everywhere. Mobile phones ringing, calls back and forth. SMS popping up every few minutes.

Then it dawned on me - these things are actions I couldn't have dreamed of just a short year ago. Now, it's easy enough to take these things for granted, but not then - the idea of making a simple phone call even to my wife was such a distant dream.
