Hope for something to go wrong

Yay! Tomorrow will be my first involvement in a server upgrade! Actually, not really a file server....a conference bridge.

I'll be heading back to the office to run some back ups and then when the clock strikes 3, the firmware upgrading process will begin. I predict it will be kind of boring though. All I think I have to do is just reboot the bridge, test some ports, make some calls.... Since the maintenance and stuff are all outsourced, all I have to do is just to man the physical hardware.

I wonder if it would be bad to hope for something to go wrong... I think I better not, the upgrade takes 8 hours and I don't think I want to drag it longer.

It's going to be super cold too! Staying in the data center for 15 minutes is already *brrrrr* for me. We are talking about 8 whole freaking hours tomorrow. Plus the temperature will drop later in the evening, and worst if it rains! Got to make sure I wear as much layer of clothes as possible LOL!

Things at work is going kind of speedy. I have not even been in my position for a month but I felt I have been there for 3 months already. I’m really starting to learn a lot about the support life… kind of fun for now. The headache will come when I really get hands on and be on-call. *yikes*

Anyway, I won’t be going to work next week because I’ll be on external training. And you know what, I will be taking a plane to work and back in a fortnights time. LOL! That will be another first time for me.

All is fun for now… hope it stays this way for as long as possible hehehe
