I'm at T-minus four days to Deployment Day Take Two. We are definitely a go now because the team deploying the source application are under orders to deploy their thing, no choice, no roll-back, if things don't go well then they'll be sitting at their desks coding until it's all fixed.
So on Saturday, I will be spending the day working. There are going to be some big breaks of a couple of hours (at least) where I'm not doing anything but can't leave my desk. So I'll either be reading a book or working on fics during that time. My busiest period is likely to be from mid-afternoon into the late evening, although I'll be starting my day around 9.30AM so it's likely to be a twelve hours at my desk day.
My prediction is that this will go one of two ways:
1) Everything will go very smoothly, much faster than the schedule, and I'll be done by early evening.
2) The source application will hit a snag and they'll lose a few hours fixing it so my stuff will still be deploying late Saturday/early Sunday morning and I'll work through the night.
Given this project's history, option two seems the most likely right now.
Today I'm locking down the revisions on all the objects at noon. We have to compile so much paperwork and so many lists and I need to have that stuff in tomorrow morning. That means I'll spend this afternoon double and triple checking all my lists, matching things off with highlighter pens and trying to make sure nothing gets missed.
I'm about 99% certain that I'll still get asked to make minor changes despite being on revision lock-down so all the paperwork ends up being redone, but at least I tried?
The good news is that I probably won't have to work on Monday (Canada Day) itself now! Woo! I plan to...sleep. And maybe watch a movie from my recliner. But mostly sleep.
