I came across an article in InfoWorld today that made me think.  It's about how all your beautiful programming and planning can fail when your procedures require human intervention.  I really hate to admit it, but a lot of the processes I've designed for my work's website are handled this way.  Not because I wanted to, but because I don't have the budget or manpower to redesign our systems to handle it properly.  It really annoys me somedays.
