Doesn't routine make you better at things?
(And since everybody is now going to share war stories... When I worked at Con-way, now XPO Logistics, they had the pop-tart incident, where a kitchen mishap triggered fire regulations that mandated the data center be taken down, and since they had absolutely *zero* routine in restarting their data center, folks got to debug the backup plans in real-time, until two weeks later all service had been restored. Kind of. Me suggesting we should test this more often was only perceived as a joke in bad taste. I thought it was a swell idea, since our Sundays were scheduled downtime anyway. Yep, the whole day. Every one or two weeks. Suffice to say, it wasn't a very long stint.)
