3:57am - Wrapping stuff up, re-enabling stuff... cleaning up more e-mail. Not quite Inbox0, but I did clear 140 items. Realization - I haven't moved since 10:15pm. Ugh....
3:27am - Last site complete!!! Celebratory song: House of Pain - "Jump Around".
2:59am - Things are going quite well... almost done... I'm now hearing low rumbles outside... not sure if it's street cleaning trucks or thunder... *shrug*....
1:32am - 161 sites complete on east coast... time to move inland... inbox count: 155 - music: Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Californication."
1:01am - Starting on e-mail sweep that I've been neglecting. Currently 204 items, going for inbox zero.
12:59am - Now at 140. Mgr left for the night, seeing as everything was going smoothly. I guess it's time to crank up the muzak again - TMBG - "Experimental Film".
12:21am - So far, so good. We've completed 100 locations and things are going quite smoothly. Mgr and I are sitting here just watching the auto-confirms roll in from the devices. Burger, fries and coke are gone.
10:48pm - First 20 locations: loaded - Playlist: loaded. Wendy's Classic Double: unwrapped. First song on playlist: Europe - "Final Countdown." Yes, I know the song is awesomely bad....
10:37pm - Finishing up some last minute paperwork.... Disabling some automated processes that would attempt to undo what I'm about to do. One of our tech managers came in to look over my shoulder at the process. At least I won't be the only one in the lab tonite.
10:20pm - Just sat down and am warming things up. The rest of the team should be getting on site in 10 minutes. The "go" button get hit at 11pm sharp, and we haven't been waived off...yet.
I thought I would change it up for this post. Tonight I am working overnight to perform a special config roll out for my organization. I was planning on getting a nap earlier today and actually eating decently, but parenthood sometimes prevents that from occurring. So, in similar vernacular as the famous Blues Brothers quote, "I got 324 sites to go, a Wendy's #2 combo, a charged IPod, it's dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses.
Updates will appear at the top. Summary at the bottom.
Summary - Not a terribly exciting night overall, but thus is life.
Other items - It seems that my vent has been answered... email excerpt below

I got to see Carlton from the Fresh Prince on my cruise... let's just say I was less than impressed with his performance although he had a great singing voice.
