...and honestly that's the exact same thing my friend Dana did when she was job hunting in Nashville last spring. She picked one company, saw they just launched a new recycling program at their warehouses, and wrote two sentences about how she'd managed something similar at a smaller local shop. She got a reply from the actual hiring manager within a day, not even the usual automated thing. The manager told her later that her note stood out because everyone else just said "I'm a hard worker" and she actually showed she read their stuff. She ended up getting the job, and now she's the one telling everyone to spend those five extra minutes. It's wild how such a small thing can make you feel less like a number in a pile.

You caught me, I was only looking at it after the fact. But honestly the logs tell the story pretty clearly. The sensor was spitting out perfectly normal numbers right up until the load spiked, then it went completely nuts. If it was sending garbage the whole time, the baseline readings would've been all over the place too, and they weren't. So it's not like the thing was broken from the start, it just lost its mind under pressure. Which, fair enough, I've done the same thing during a deadline.
