I spent a lot of time preparing a bunch of files and installation scripts last night to be able to run an automated install of one of our test workstations this morning. I was told that I could have the machine up until 8am, so to ensure I had enough time, I'd have to be in the office at 7am. That meant getting up at 5:20am. I arrive at the office at 6:55am to find this email in my inbox: (Names have been concealed to protect the guilty, so don't worry Leigh, no-one will find out)

Xander,



Person Y didn't finish testing on the box (looking good on the apps so far

though!!). He needs more time this morning. Sorry - hope you haven't got in

extra early for this.



Red Hat should have updated issue tracker with more detail on the problem

packages by the way.



Cheers

Needless to say I was not too happy with that. I even skipped breakfast to be able to make it in the office on time.

Grrr...
