Had a another famous flameout by the head Balrog. I'd post the e-mail that I got on Sunday morning, but it uses words that would get me banned. It was a subject of much stress on Sunday, with me, two of my staff and the CFO, COO and CEO all involved. Balrog is unfortunately COTB.

Balrog was in a hotel room at 1:00AM sunday morning having an email problem. It's a long story, but he couldn't get no satisfaction. He left a message for the on-call tech, but didn't leave a callback number. Leaves a message for me, too, but my phone has lost it's signal and doesn't ring through. Morning comes and all hell breaks loose.

Today however we were able to more or less conclusively show that it was all his own dumb self that was the problem from the beginning. [sip].

We smote his ruin on the mountainside. :-)

I think that makes you a pretty powerful wizard sweetie. Sad that you had to deal with the balrog on your Sunday!

This always makes for a lovely day IMO. *smug smile*
