The biggest part of the clusterfuck is behind me. Good lord.
Thanks to some capable co-workers who stepped in and helped me with the grunt work, the two machines that I need to prepare to be shipped in two weeks can be shipped monday, per the customers request.

I would never have thought it possible, but it all came together, and now I’m going to have a weekend. Still have plenty of stuff to do, but I’ll be better able to handle it, anyway.
