Only one more (in theory, half-day) to go before we break up for xmas! (or in my case, spend a week getting pestered at home instead of in the office, but hey, at least I can get drunk)

Had a really bad week this week, I'm on earlies, which means I have to come in at 7am in order to basically make sure all the systems have survived the overnight onslaught of batch jobs and processes that run. However, as I'm still the only person that knows the SUI project inside out, I'm getting snowed under with work, and am generally getting out LATER than the people coming in at 6. Feel like I've done about 7 days work in the last 3.

Luckily, today I appear (fingers crossed) to be up to date - no releases due to go out tonight, and all the major work for the PAT environment can wait until next year. I'm planning on running out in the next 10 mins, before anyone gives me any more work to do.

Bizzarrely, the UAT testers ARE starting working tomorrow. On the last day before xmas. I have no idea why. God help them if they expect any form of coherent support from us.

Done all my xmas shopping too (yay!), only having to resort to real-world shopping once. Just need to wrap them (3am, xmas morning looks likely).

No xmas beers planned yet, I'm sure I'll end out somewhere at some point drunk singing to the pogues, and then stealing all the bacon of the turkey at 2am in order to make a bacon butty*

Guild is doing really well now, we are happily at the point where we can do entire instance runs with guild-only members. UBRS raids shouldn't be long off :D

Right, time to sneak out of the office while no one is looking...
