Come in! Have a margarita or root beer? How about some fresh trout? :)

I'm still at work...

Post by XMEN Gambit »

Yes, it is 2 am here. Yes, I've been here since 11 Saturday morning. No, I don't know when I'll next be able to visit my warm, soft bed. Boo hoo, woe is me. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>But yanno, last year at this time I didn't have a job at all. So it could be lots worse. <p></p><i></i>

We were deploying a new system into production over the weekend. Had to do it overnight & on the weekend, etc, because the system had to be taken completely offline to run the conversion.<br><br>I was not making decisions yesterday. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>After I got home and dropped into bed about four, work called with a problem at 7:30. I logged in with a solution, took a shower - during which I realized my solution was wrong so logged in again afterward to fix it. Had some food, went back to bed.<br><br>...zzzzz....<br><br>But I'm back now. <p></p><i></i>
