Rule 9 from Agans's Debugging: If you didn't fix it, it ain't fixed
Intermittent problems are the worst...
The problem is, how do you fix it if you can't make it break?
The worst thing is when somebody comes to you saying "yeah, I had this problem yesterday, but it's working now".
this is a case for excessive logging man
likely won't help you actually fix the issue because miraculously you didn't log the three variables you actually need but it'll make you feel better in the meantime
