guinness_duck's Journal: Halloween - one day closer to insanity!

One more day down, one day closer to our launch date, and it's Halloween. Somehow appropriate I think. Most people are sort of ambling around, not much for us to do at the moment besides wait. The Q&A people are doing last minute nit picking and spell checking of everything they can find. All the management types are in meetings doing whatever gets done (or not done) in management meetings. And us here in IT are going over every network system hoping that this thing is going to hold. We're not expecting some overwhelming response, but hey, best to be prepared for thousands upon thousands of visitors.

It's a quiet moment now. We just had lunch, the network is behaving as well as it's going to. I'm using some defunct machines as a foot rest, occassionally kicking them for good measure because they've really pissed me off. Peeps of conversations pass outside our door. Last minute kind of things. People sound a little more panicky than normal as a deadline looms for us.

I wonder about tomorrow. Is it going to be a swarm of activity? Will it be just another day? Be prepared. Drink heavily tonight.
