I’ve known for a while that I was going to have to come in on the weekend. It was supposed to be last week, but it got pushed back. We had to deploy a new version of our practice management software, and the vendor doesn’t have the ability to push it out as an msi. We (two coworkers and I; the other coworker skipped out) had to go touch each machine., and that’s a huge, tedious time killer. No overtime, no comp time; I’m salaried.
I automated the large majority of it, so all we had to do was make sure it got to each machine. I still don’t like going to work for 4 hours on a Saturday. I’m getting to be quite the VBScript master, automating a large amount of tasks via active directory.
I need to go finish season 2 of LOST, the best show ever. I think that was my first personal blog post ever. Wish me luck. Working on the weekend sucks.
Working on the weekend does suck, but at least there’s not as many people around to botheryou & crap, so you can actually get more work done. Some days I’d prefer to work a Saturday (assuming I could get a weekday off.)
