Things were nice and quiet all week long, notice I said things WERE nice and quiet!

Here I am up until about 12:30am working on my shiny new blog and finally fall asleep around 1:00am or so.
At 4:14am I hear this BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP… “fuuuuuuuuuu*k!”.

Not only that but it was this crazy stuff with a database table being wiped out because a DTS job failed, so I had to restore from the last backup to another server and then export the table back to the original server, but we only had a backup from the 19th, so I ended up having to rerun the job anyway. (yes that was an intentional long sentence).

Long story short (I know, too late) two hours later all was right with the world.

The good thing about being on call is I get a 1/2 day on Friday… WOO HOO!
