Douglas Adams said it plainly in his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book: Don't Panic. Unfortunately, I'm panicking. Too many things to do in too little time today, especially since I've missed software publishing deadlines at work, and I'm worried the deployments will not coincide with the server migrations.
Sound crazy? Probably. Will it matter in 100 years it this was done or not? Who knows. Will it matter this week? Yeah. 5000 employees will be wondering why they can't open their applications if the changes don't make it to production. Yikes. I may be coming back up to my office later tonight.
On another note, only slightly related to the panic outlined above, dinner is scheduled to be at Copeland's here in Minneapolis. Great food, great music, great place. I've been there a few times, but tonight I'm going with my wife and my mom. Hopefully everything will be as excellent as usual. Then its back home to help mom on her new iBook. Awesome little computer... I'd like to get one, but I'll wait till I can get a PowerBook.
Then, well, I may be back. Gotta get this stuff done. Otherwise I'll have to catch the 5:00AM bus in the morning to get in on time in time.
Take a deep breath. Count to ten. Back to work...
