Caution

Why does it seem to happen that when i work a single shift throughout the week, that something goes wrong...on that single shift? It happened to me tonight. Nearing the end of my shift several cautions went up on the screen. Those cautions were related to my system. Wait. That wasn't supposed to happen. Uh-oh. Those cautions just woke up the crew. Imagine being in a deep sleep...when the phone rings. Don't you hate that? I'm sure the crew didn't appreciate that wake up call.

The failure that occurred tonight wasn't a difficult one to handle. There wasn't anything i could do from my seat. The Russians were able to fix the problem and restore the peace and quiet to the ISS and control rooms. But with nearly 13 hours in the books today, i'm ready to get some sleep.

Goodnight...
