What's wrong?

What I've learnt since quitting my Web Architect/Management job 2 weeks ago is that babies are both simpler and yet somehow more complex than SharePoint. As I was discussing with another nounou-Dad a few days ago, a 7 month-old child has a limited set of needs... I came up with a basic list of 6 possibilities.
Food, drink, sleep, entertainment/play, touch/hugs and clean nappies. When baby is crying, it has to be one of the above - dead simple right? Well, the reality is that these things invariably come two at a time, so you have 15 basic combinations of things that can go wrong. Still, 15 possibilities is manageable.
However, a bit like with Microsoft service packs, teeth can arrive from nowhere and throw you into chaos. And then if you get a cold virus thrown in to mix then you're left scratching your head and wondering if you'd be better outsourcing.
The possible permutations (or combinations, I never know which) suddenly explode and you're looking at 56 possible things which could be wrong.

This is what happened to me on Tuesday. My logical approach to keeping LB happy was severely tested, and I came out of the experience feeling totally helpless. Fortunately this happened at the end of the day and I was able to stick him in the buggy and go and meet his mum on her way home from work. The sighs of relief from both LB and myself were audible.
