Work in the technology trenches tends to bubble over like an ignored pot of pasta boiling on the stovetop -- but not because it's being ignored. Rather, we fall victim to the fact that we need to be available at any given moment to deal with emergencies or to clarify technical facts for future planning or to provide an answer to a blocking problem. Folks who do data center and system architecture design and management do not have the luxury of being able to concentrate on a single task. Switching gears quickly and abruptly is part of the game.
Naturally, it can become tiresome. Few situations are more irritating than being shoulder deep in an incredibly complex problem only to be interrupted by any of a half-dozen available contact methods and feel a possible solution slide from your grasp as certain variables that were starting to congeal into an answer shatter like a Prince Rupert's Drop.
