Fucking mondays. Almost the entire day was a complete bust. Rollout failed; working on the rollback now. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 16:54 17
- I hate that. - Mel Profit Apr 26, 17:14 8
  - Me, apparently. They asked me to add another aggregator, so I did. It ended up taking about 10 times longer to run than it used to. Apparently that's - Beryllium Apr 26, 17:17 7
    - (And this is a two week long project that I *tested*, but I couldn't test on live hardware, so I didn't anticipate this much suckage) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 17:18 6
      - Sounds like either someone's expectations (of 10 mins) are too high or they didn't give you what you needed to test in the Live environment. - Mel Profit Apr 26, 17:21 5
        
        i.e. Hang in there. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 26, 17:21 4
        
        thanks -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 17:24 3
        
        (I didn't anticipate this as a possibility, that's why I didn't push for more testing. I thought it would add a minute, tops, not *a half hour* ...) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 17:25 2
        
        (Actually, it would have kept going past a half hour, except that we aborted it) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 17:25 1
        
        the good thing about these things is you'll see it from a mile away next time hopefully. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 26, 17:30

  - this -- nm - peglegpete Apr 26, 17:09
- so, again, the least-annoying part of the day was STEPPING IN HUMAN VOMIT. What the fuck kind of a day is that? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 16:55 4
  - What if it was bovine vomit? -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 17:00

*ding* My expertly worded complaint e-mail about my brother's flight experience just netted him 10,000 miles from American for his trouble. -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 16:37 7
- dAAAAAmn! -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Apr 26, 16:43 3
  - I was thinking he'd get 3000-5000 at most. (I've gotten 10000 before for issues on TATL flights...this was just DC to ORD) -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 16:45 2
    - I'm sure I've heard the story before but it's not coming to me right now. Did he get mugged or something? -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Apr 26, 16:50 1
      - It just occurred yesterday. - ty97 Apr 26, 17:00
