The following hold true for most of us, and with permission, 
I post it for all to read.  To you especially, Enjoy,  jr

                                                                              
'Twas the night before cutover and all through the house                       
      not a program was working not even a browse.                             
 the programmers hung by their dumps in despair,                               
      with hopes that a miracle soon would be there.                           
 the users were nestled all snug in their beds,                                
      while visions of queries danced in their heads.                          
 when out on the floor there arose such a clatter,                             
      i sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.                        
 and what to my wondering eyes should appear,                                  
      but a crackerjack hacker (with a six pack of beer).                      
 his resume glowed with experience so rare,                                    
      he turned out great code with a bit pusher's flair.                      
 more rapid than fastpath, his programs they came,                             
      and he cursed and he muttered and called them by name:                   
         on update!  on addit!   on query!      delete!                        
         on unload!  on reload!  on functions complete!                        
 his eyes were glazed-over, his fingers were lean,                             
      from all-nighters and weekends in front of the screen.                   
 then a wink of his eye, and a twitch of his head,                             
      soon gave me to know i had nothing to dread.                             
                                                                               
 he spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,                           
      turning specs into code, then turned with a jerk;                        
 and laying his finger aside "enter" key,                                      
      the system came up and worked perfectly.                                 
 the updates, updated; the deletes, they deleted;                              
      the queries, they queried and the reloads completed.                     
 he tested each whistle, and tested each bell                                  
      with nary an abend, and all in the "SHELL"                               
 the system was finished, the tests were concluded.                            
      the user's last changes were even included.                              
                                                                               
 and the user exclaimed with a snarl and a taunt,                              
     "It's just what I asked for, But NOT what i want"!!'
