"Immediate gratification has the benefit of being immediate and gratifying." - Colleague
Sometimes we overlook the obvious things in life for pearls of wisdom carried down through the ages. Sometimes a friend has the presence of mind to transcend that plaque of stodgy lore and see the grain of reality that has been so long obscured.

Keep it on the DL
"Transaction was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction." - Some web-app
That is the most threatening error message I've ever read. You're probably tempted to come back at me with a fatal error, but those still have a passivity about them. It's one thing to attribute your computer's stuttering failure to some faulty memory register at 0x0198764235... In this case, however, I have been chosen as the deadlock victim.
My transaction didn't fall through the cracks, nor was it mishandled; it was selected, isolated, marked for death.
Skynet, is that you?
