glitch_'s Journal: Why do I hurt myself?

I don't get it. I've been developing with .NET now for a couple years and for some strange reason I still work in a couple of projects with ASP. No, not the ASP.NET with all the object-oriented wonderness. ASP. You know, that hideous old stepchild that we all keep locked away in the basement? Well, I'm trying to figure out why I elect to punish myself. There must be some drug that is causing me to do this. I think the thought process goes something like this:

Ryan: "This is a small app. Nobody is ever going to use it, really. I can whip this up in a minute with ASP. ASP wasn't that bad. I mean, come on, you've written hundreds of these things in your sleep. This won't take more than 15 minutes."

9 days later I come out. I must have been a fool. How did I know that this app was going to interface with 15 different systems and require BizTalk integration with a DB2 database???

Anyway, I just came out of another one of those projects. and I hope and pray that I finally learned a lesson.
