I'm sick. Just plain and simple. But I am here at work again. In the life of a start up owner, you don't get time off for things as mundain as sickness. You need to be at work. Clients don't just lay down and say "Okay, we will work on that tomorrow or when you are feeling better." No they don't care. Work must go on.

Yesterday didn't help things. A small error in code cascaded into a huge full blown problem for all of our clients. Took hours to track down and fix. But it is all better now. But was not fun.
