Panic Attacks
Its been a while since i got a panic attack, recently experienced one :)
Last weekend was busy tuning some script, which had to be run the next week.
I was satisfied with what i did and was 100% confident that things will go smooth.
Finally the D-Day came and i was asked to run the script. To my surprise i found that the script is just getting stuck and not doing anything...i was zapped.
Felt i have brought dishonor for the company, as now the clients will start pointing figures at the capability of people...was thinking i have really put my Sr Mgr in a tight spot, not sure how he will defend.
Started looking at it, could not find any issue...concluded must be something majorly wrong in the server. A friend of mine dropped in and he proved to be the angel in disguise, he helped identify a small mistake which caused the entire issue to occur. I was so relieved and thanked him profusely.
This incident reminded me of few other incidents in past, where in someone presence made all the difference.
The feeling that someone is there with you, is more than enough sometimes.

Good that all turned out well. Don't start concluding about yourself so soon. Remember, we all are humans and to err is human. Many times, 2 heads work better than one. Have you heard of Peer programming in Agile.
I agree with you joy :), the natural reaction is always to panic first :)
I agree with joy, to err is human... its just a script. Chill marro madhu puttar...
I guess I would do the same. Instead of concentrating on the problem objectively I would be thinking of all things I should not be thinking. Good it worked out well. :-)
Apne nanhe se dimaag par hum itna zor kyon daalte hain?
