Shared on Mon, 02/26/2007 - 00:36As my clan unfortunately has had to hear too much of already, I am in work hell right now.
While my company is worldwide, we have smaller offices in each country with a main corporate one in the UK. Being in a smaller office, we do not have a dedicated IT department here. So at the beginning of each fiscal year (when money is available) we get some new equipment and our IT manager comes over from the UK to set it up.
So this year one of the tasks is to upgrade our mail server which was having space issues. While my boss and I both split entertaining him normally, he had already scheduled a golf trip during this time. So here I am in computer hell trying to get some things accomplished while wanting nothing but to get home and into my own bed. I even booked a room down near my office but it looks more and more like I've just made a donation for an empty room.
Unfortunately, some of the restore tapes that we are trying to use are causing problems with this task. So after a late Friday night (entertaining) and a long Saturday in the office we are now well on our way to an all nighter tonight. It's 1:35 AM and while I've been here since 12:00 PM our IT person has been here since 8:00AM.
I luckily don't have to do many all nighters but when it comes about, it is always a challenge. Anybody else have all-nighter horror stories?
