on feeling smart

[rmd]

from now on, whenever i feel smart and think i need to reign in my hubris, i'm gonna go troubleshoot spanning tree. i always end up feeling stupid as a bag of hammers when i do this.

no, wait, i feel stupider than that. stupid as a bag of rocks, i think.

i should!

except i've been troubleshooting this thing for a couple of hours, now, and i'm feeling good and stupid. *sigh*

at least the other network engineer i'm working with is confused by it, too.

Eek! Yes, at least you're not alone. I hope you figure it out soon. And in the meantime, maybe you can do something to make yourself feel smart? :)

it turned out to be a bug, which is actually kind of comforting since it means it *wasn't* just that i couldn't figure out something that should be figure-out-able.

i'm back to feeling smart!
