The time is 1:30 p.m.

I have eaten my lunch.

I had hoped to eat my lunch elsewhere, but the problems are mountainous, and I have tackled and solved most of them.

I can see “the light at the end of the tunnel”; I believe that within 24 hours of my arrival the backlog will be cleared.

I take a breath.

I have enjoyed sitting here for 20 minutes chatting with the client while the 20-minute document generation job ran.

Now I need to walk.

A convenience store is three minutes walk from here.

I buy nine ice-cream bars, three each of three kinds, and walk the bag back to the office freezer.

Some of us have an ice-cream as post-lunch dessert.

What a treat!

I leave the remainder to be eaten over the next few days.

With a bit of luck I’ll be remembered for $13-worth of ice-cream, not for being present while various problems were identified with the system.
