The IT Team's Pre-Holiday Prayer Circle
That sacred pre-vacation ritual where you desperately pray to the server gods that nothing explodes while you're gone. Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like frantically patting server racks and whispering "please don't die" to infrastructure that's held together by duct tape and Stack Overflow answers. The true holiday miracle is making it to January without getting that 3 AM call about the production database deciding to spontaneously combust while you're trying to enjoy your eggnog.

When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In
That beautiful moment when you've closed all your IDE tabs, pushed your commits, and are mentally halfway to happy hour... then your Slack explodes with "Critical update: ALL HANDS ON." The universe has a special talent for waiting until you've mentally checked out before dropping production fires in your lap. It's like the code knows you're smiling and decides "not today, friend." Freedom was so close you could taste it. Now you're being dragged back into the trenches for an emergency that will inevitably be traced back to someone's "minor change" that "shouldn't affect anything."

That's what happens when you push untested code on Friday at 4:59 PM with a commit message "it works on my machine." The skeleton isn't a metaphor - it's literally the remains of the last developer who thought hotfixing production was a personality trait. The business calls it "moving fast and breaking things," but the on-call engineer calls it "why I drink."
