I'm still at work.
With an issue at the newly-live site that I have to resolve.
I'm tired, I'm frustrated, I had to hang up on trying to get my tickets reissued after 20 minutes on hold (before there was a real person to hang up on, so at least I wasn't also rude). I'm downloading a file. Have been for 30 minutes. Another 10 and I'll have it, then maybe I can do something.
Right now, I'm very tired. Tired is a good word. This whole team is working too many long hours. R and M were here until 11 or so last night working on an issue, just to prove what it was, then finished it up today. It just resolved (R finalizing it). I sent M home and told R to go just now. They could help with this a bit, but I and the folks at the go live also can and we will want my ex-supervisor if we can't resolve it. Plus - they don't need a second late night in a row. We're human too and we can't take this too constantly (I'm not sure I can take it at all, any more; I'm such a wimp lately, I wanted to cry when I understood what was going on, not because of the severity level but just because it meant I had to stay late, and I wanted to see if I could DO stuff tonight).
I was not entirely joking when I asked my boss if we could get per-diem for the evenings we have to work through dinner, to get something delivered. I'm starving right now and there is nothing open nearby, plus, I don't budget for these sorts of things. I got a candy bar from the tray in the kitchen but even that costs 75 cents and it's a lousy substitute for a meal!
I'm going to fiddle with a bit of assistance code I'd like to have eventually until this download finishes. It would make it easier to handle some of the stuff we were working on yesterday and today (although not this one). Maybe that will improve my mood a bit. :)
