I lost my Mouse

For at least 15 minutes, I was staring at my computer, trying a bunch of different tricks, searching for solutions, and restarting my computer. All because my mouse pointer had disappeared. Oh the Horror! The cause?  An update waiting to be accepted. The solution?  If your update is going to cause an inverse reaction to your user’s experience, perhaps try any of the following… Force the update to complete. Warn users. Fix the update?

Plans only work if you can keep implementing them. If you’re constantly re-iterating them, always rebuilding them, disrupting them like they never existed… well then they aren’t plans. There just… what was written down today, for you to maybe consider looking at tomorrow but there is no need to follow or adhere to them.
