As of yesterday morning our Yarmouth facility is now live. Since Friday morning we have logged over 60 hours of work, compared with less than 18 hours of sleep. It was great to see yesterday that all of our hard work paid off with a smooth transition to the new facility. Other than a few normal move-related issues, the go-live was a success, especially when we look back at how many things could have easily gone wrong. Being able to look back on a relative success like this makes all of the hard work worth while. Now......back home to my loving family!
First I must apologize for not posting very often. Things have been pretty hectic this past month, especially with work. However, for the most part the end is now in sight. As I sit here enjoying a nice waffle at the hotel (which are great, by the way), I realize that all the hard work by or team will finally be put to the test this weekend. This evening we will begin the physical relocation of the equipment, with the go-live taking place Monday morning. Things have gone pretty well thus far and hopefully that will carry through to Monday. In any case, I hope to at least be able to enjoy some more great seafood while I'm here.
I miss you Jill and Lindsay!
This week I am out in Freeport, Maine at our new facility. Things went better than expected yesterday and despite our 1:30 arrival at the office, we still managed to squeeze in a solid day's work. We even managed to get pictures of my coworker, Adam mopping the closet floor, and let me tell you, his skillset doesn't end at network infrastructure. That was one clean floor!
After work, we went out to eat at The Muddy Rudder, a local seafood restaurant. I had a delicious sampler that consisted of breaded/broiled haddock, shrimp, scallops, and lobster drizzled with butter and white wine. It was a true testament to the freshness and quality of seafood in Maine. After dinner we hopped over to Gritty McDuff's, which is the local brew-pub. They have a great stout! All I have to say is that Maine is a Beautiful state. It reminds me a lot of our very own Upper Peninsula.
As always, it's nice to travel but I miss my girls back home. At least I was able to see them on the webcam this morning. Time to see what's in store for day 2...
