Puppylap
The on call pager went off at 4:30am this morning. One of our weekly jobs had failed. It had been running fine for weeks too.
The first thing I did (after calling to acknowledge the page) was take Peri out for a walk. Brrrrr!
Then we came back into the office and I started researching the problem. Peri started throwing up (4 times). So I got off of the phone with a co-worker who I'd woken up and cleaned up the mess. Overwhelming amounts of early morning fun.
We're still trying to figure out where the duplicate record came from (well, my co-worker is because he has better command line database skills than I do), but now Peri's happy and calm and sitting in my lap.
That's almost enough to make me fall asleep in my chair. ![]()
Update: I headed back to bed at 6:15 only to have the pager go off again at 7:15 with another production problem.





See, it's true, mornings ARE evil. I hope the puppy is feeling better!
oh lisa, what an awful morning you have had! ugh. poor puppy.
hope you get a nap this afternoon!
see, even the puppy doesnt like to get up early!
Aww... Poor puppy & poor Lisa. I hope you get some rest & Peri feels better!
Ack, I remember those fun morning calls... I don't miss that one bit...
