Up at 4:45 am to do a software application release/install, with a colleague. Fortunately, this can be accomplished at home. install went fine without any issues. Our testers/validators are scheduled to start testing at 7. Will have to wait until 8 for them to finish with that before (maybe) heading back to bed for a few hours. My body/head does not like getting up this early.
I remember doing one of these a few months after I’d started with , it was first week of December, I’d just had had my first eye surgery (with eye patch on), and I didn’t want to trust dialing into work from home (on my first software release for them), so I drove in, and it had started snowing overnight – not a whole lot of visibility and roads were a bit bad. Fortunately, I was only going 30-40 MPH, and there aren’t many cars on the freeway at 4am, so the few cars that I did run into only suffered minor damage. JK. 😱🙄😉🤓
Testers are starting their testing early. Yea.
