let's get retarded...

most of you that read my blog (if anyone does) should know that i've been working retarded hours for the passed month and a bit now. i'm testing and aiding the implementation of various system changes that are being introduced into our company's data systems. anyways... the system has been fighting these proposed changes even when we were just talking about the type of logic we'd need to introduce. at every step of the way there's been problem after problem after problem. every test scenario needs to be re-worked. every test environment needs another change. when we were finally comfortable with the changes, we decided to implement them early on thursday early morning. i get into work that day and bam, "showstopper!!!" the largest problem so far which took day and night thursday, day and night friday, and almost the entire day yesterday to resolve. well today is the official release into production day. the changes were re-introduced at 7am this morning. i waltzed in at about 730am anticipating a cake walk and i could be back in bed by 9am... bam! not working! i've been on the phone trying to get a hold of all these people that are supposed to be on-call at home (i was supposed to just be on-call this weekend) and no one is answering! so i have to sit... and wait... here at my desk... on a sunday morning...

what are you doing?
