Restless
No sleep last night. After making a big decision about what Layer 3 equipment to compliment our GeoMax project I stared at the ceiling all night.
This wasn't so much a case of buyer's remorse as a case of "just how do I pay for this" worry. The best (but not perfect) analogy I can come up with is that I was presented with three options. If this were a transportation problem the options would be along the lines of:
Option one: a Bicycle
Option two: a Moped
Option three: a Car
In this case we absolutely needed the car. But it's so much more expensive. And in my mind I kept asking, "can't we get along by using a bicycle?" The obvious answer, after hours and hours of discussion and thinking is, no, we can't.
Using a moped would have certainly been better than using a bike. It has characteristics of the car. And, unfortunately, characteristics of the bike. It could work, but not perfectly.
The car was the option we needed. That's the option I chose. But it is expensive, much more so than the bike. So now I'm left with the problem of how to make the payments. At least it's my problem and it is contained. Buying the bike would have made a bigger problem for everyone else...........
