A week of ups and downs

Work was a roller coaster today.  We started out in a happy place, but dark clouds were on the horizon.  Little did we know, the gremlins would be casually removing semicolons from our code.  The gremlins are real, though I have not seen one myself.  I have seen their handiwork: changing settings, rearranging charts, hiding production lots.  On my team, we have one ambitious gremlin fighter.  He notices when things are amiss, and make it his responsibility to undo the damage the gremlins have done.  Today, he bravely tracked the location of the gremlin mischief, and started the factory running smoothly again.  My hero. . .  And, as I leave today, things are back as they should be, quiet as a church on Monday.
