For the first time ever I need to number crunch and research multiple network security solutions and present multiple scenarios with price tags for each one. I started doing this yesterday and my brain has since turned into goo and drained out my ears. This was a lot easier when my job was to be handed what our solution is going to be and told to implement it. Then all I had to worry about was how I was going to do that.

Now I am juggling price, required hardware, my knowledge of the product for implementation, accessibility, impact on current production, and multiple choices to submit for budgeting. And I have to come up with a rational plan and an on target price range along with implementation time all by the 15th.

This sucks.
