The nightmare begins...

Lets start with where I'm calling from. I don't know everything, and sometimes I
feel like I know less than that. Everything I know, I have had to learn the hard
way; trial and error and error and error. By day I go by "Senior Specialist Application Consultant" and by night I go by "...another brick wall". It seems that everything I attempt first involves a steep learning curve and then the lesson "Don't try that again". So I decided to share my experiences with others.
