Tell us about a time where everything you’d hoped would happen actually did.

The most recent moment where this came true was when I had a problem at work with my primary file server. It had been giving everyone fits for a while and I suspected there might be something wrong with the storage system. My system support specialist ran a check and found that indeed there was a deep logic problem in the storage system. It wasn’t earth-shattering but it did require a fair bit of white-knuckle “file system check” routines that had me on edge for about two hours. I was of course hoping that the deep repairs that I had started would end up all for the best with the corrected file system in a functional and error-free state. Thankfully the “file system check” did exactly that. It took a while, a bit of white-knuckle, but I landed squarely on my feet and I was very thankful to the Gods of Technology for blessing me with an easy fix. It wasn’t that the check was going to blow up in my face, but if it didn’t go well, it would have eaten a week of my life. Thankfully that didn’t happen. It all worked out for the best.
