Come on!

So really... are you trying to kill us over here?

Just found out from the Product Managers, who told the Project Managers a month ago... all of whom neglected to tell Support...

...That we have to manually touch every single customer site who has our newest software this weekend because of a bug in the MS Notification Services that will jack up our scheduled processes after Sunday morning.  EVERY SINGLE SITE.  Granted, it's new software so it's only installed in 40 or 50 locations, but each of those is going to take 20-40 minutes of work... assuming we can get remote access in the middle of the effing night.

And for the sites we can't remote in to?  We'll probably have to re-crunch data on Monday when they finally get our frantic voice mails, so each of those sites will turn in to a 1-2 hour process if we're lucky.

And that doesn't even cover the fact that the OS for one particular hardware image won't take the MS DST patch.  We're not quite sure what we're going to do about those guys yet...

So... who else is gonna be around at 2AM Sunday morning?  I'm thinking it may be a good night to bring beer.

Me probably, seeing if my hack for Fedora Core4 works...but since it's for my box at home I'm not too concerned. If it breaks, oops. :)

*is so glad he works in security, and really has no dealing with time as such* ;)

Screw beer. This calls for top-shelf tequila.

And smoking.

I would kill to be able to smoke while working.

I'm thinking it might be a good time to plant some nefarious stuff on the Proj. Mgrs. computers. Then, well... I'm sure you get the idea. *snicker*

I would... if it wouldn't scare off the Level 1 kids who don't yet know that some of us perfected the art of drunken on-call support many years ago :-)

We've been forbidden to call out sick on Monday. I hate congress.

The FUN part is they'll probably want to change it back in two years...

It's prolly a good thing that we can't. I wouldn't be able to see a fuckin' thing for the smoke in this office if we could.
