And the rain squalls begin. I hope the 6 to 8 inches of snow that's predicted stays in the mountains.

I survived today. 6 more hours of "war room" but we think we caught all the exceptions and have been getting tons of accolades, even from people we confused. Eventually, well feel celebratory, I guess? Right now we're just exhausted and relieved. We now have a federated single sign on for our user community. Right now, it only works with archive's applications, but other services will be migrated. We're just the first one launched, proof of concept. In some ways, our transition being the first meant we didn't have to do quite as many data contortions as later groups will have and got to tailor it. However, being the trailblazer meant we got all the development pains and failures and screaming and crying matches.

I can't believe it's done. 3 years. 4 babies. 2 different hardware solutions. 2 different software platforms. 3 project leads.

Wow.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Brenda, that is my new favorite work story that didn't happen to me.

All right, sara! Should get easier soon, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sara, you'd better celebrate ASAP, because pretty soon the new big thing will turn into business as usual.

Anyway, process started, I'm not rejected out of hand, that's always nice.

Excellent!

I had dinner and too many margaritas with an old coworker, which was very nice.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow, sarameg, that's like a war story, for sure. Congratulations!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My current dilemma: Should I stay up past my bedtime to watch the Justified finale, or save it for later? I feel like if anything crazy happens, I'd definitely get spoiled tomorrow, but how much do I actually care about that/think it will happen? Hmmm.

Tough call. I don't know what to tell you.

But I think I am not going to go to the Specific Plan meeting tonight. It's been a long day and I want to watch Justified.

ETA also, I kind of want a drink, but my choices are pretty much gin or Jameson's and both of those seem wrong to pair with Justified.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay for getting to done, sarameg!

My house is too quiet. I think I need to figure out what my boy is up to.
