I am hoping I just found a contributing factor for the inventory fluctuations that have been plaguing our project these past few months. I have emailed the appropriate person, who is gone for the day. It would be really nice to get that DEALT WITH, and, more importantly, would cement my reputation as a top notch data person. Of course, it could have also been investigated already and determined not a factor. What it boils down to is a time delay in creating an order in the database and adjusting the inventory based on the order. We are talking a time difference of 100 to 200 ms. However, with enough users, it could happen that while user A is creating an order, user B is doing the same during that time delay. The numbers in the fluctuations and the infrequent nature of the problem are consistent with the idea.
I need a glasses adjustment. I was thinking I needed new glasses altogether, but when I put them on the counter this morning, they were obviously out of whack. Unlikely I can get them fixed until Saturday.
helia: DD16 does indeed have celiac, confirmed by intestinal biopsy, so there is no doubt. Right now, her doctor is concerned she is losing weight. This could be the adjustment to the new diet, the insane amount of walking we did on our vacation, or her thyroid is becoming overactive. She is on meds to try and prevent the latter and preserve thyroid function, but it may not have worked.
