When the system fails a new system is required. This is how we move forward. We flow from one system to the next finding and iterating until we have one that works. It might be version one that is the right system or it could be version 12 or it could get messy and version 6 was the right one but we’re now on version 783. That is how life works. A series of interconnected systems and we’re looking for the one that fits.
It can be jarring when a system fails, because the people that implemented it and deployed it are unaware of the strain and weakness until it fails. Right now there might be weak pipes in your house and within three months they are going to fail. You won’t know this until water is flooding your living room.
That is what it feels like when systems collapse. There was no problem until there was. This is what happened this past week. Total system collapse. Suddenly and aggressive system collapse. The current system has failed and it needs to be updated. Therefore we move to version two.
The unfortunate nature of version two is it requires outside help and as it is a three day weekend we have to wait until Tuesday to begin the process. I am not a person that likes waiting or that likes uncertainty. So while I am trying to thread the needle of this 1031 exchange, raise my three children, be a good husband, and manage my own business I am entering a very stressful week.
Life would be easier if people would work together but it doesn’t work like that. Which is why we need systems. People are unreliable. Systems make the unreliable reliable.
