Trying to deal with a nasty bug at work that's making a mess of our hotel reservation system.

I figured out how to get a copy of everything that the users have done and replay them against a test server.

It didn't break.

It's REALLY BLOODY HARD to fix a bug if you can't see it in action. And my attempts to clean up the mess it made have been similarly futile -- I'm working on a backup copy while I try to figure it out, and if I manually erase all of the hotel rooms from the backup then the process that creates the rooms just goes and makes the mess again even though the data driving it looks perfectly good.

This is really messing with my head.

I'm going to bed before sleep deprivation stacks with stress to make it even harder to work.
