Tonight was my first night of pager duty. Naturally, I was woken up with about a problem that went away as soon as I looked for it. My email to the dev team about this:
Pager haiku:
Transient errors
speed by in the dead of night.
Who knows what they were?
OK, OK, it's a senryu, not a haiku. Like anybody's going to know that? (I think my next email will have to use the word "heisenbug")

Heisenbug. Basically, it's a bug that behaves differently if you look at it.
