Yesterday, we got more of a break that we expected: a 3-hour lunch and we were done for the day at 11:30pm. We had to go back from 7am to 9am this morning and finish up.
I admit I’m a little short-fused. I took a nap for 2 hours this afternoon, but it wasn’t enough.
Overall, the upgrade went well… my boss said much better than before. I’d like to think it’s because we were all focused and working together, and organized.
My job was to determine all of the laptops that would be affected by the upgrade, create a sign-in list for each person to document their pick-up time and when they needed the laptop returned, mark the individual cubby for each laptop in the back room and ensure everyone in the office was upgraded to Windows XP.
This was my prep work before all of the hands-on stuff yesterday.
Last year, the error-rate on just determining the laptops involved was 30%. This time, less than 1% off, thankyouverymuch.
It was interesting to see the process. I’m glad it’s over, though.
