we only remember failures

I work with technology and I know that it's silly to expect it to be one hundred percent reliable ... so why do I get cranky when things fail? The FTP for this site was down all last night, and I suspect that another site is refusing to deliver email to me.

It's human nature that if a device or entity delivers six months of flawless performance followed by a day of utter failure, all we remember is the utter failure. It's not fair of us, but we do seem to remember the lows more vividly than the highs, in general.

I have to go catch up on the crisis backlog now.
