Diary 26: Deployment Day

Yesterday I slept at around 5 am. Today I woke up at around 10:30 am. Yesterday, I came to know that there would be no water supply for three days. I was already frustrated with the AC thing, and then this water problem. Then, the maid servant came in, and made breakfast. I told her that use as much less water as possible. After that, I started working. And my whole mid day went into fixing issues and working on the changes. At around 5:15 pm, we had a client call where Gotham told us that today we need to deploy the code into their server. So, we will set up a webex meeting and share control over the desktop to copy everything. I had never done this before, and it was a very new experience. Anyways, after that I and Ankit started loading the final data for testing. Meanwhile, the first qualifier match started between CSK and RCB. It was one hell of a match. RCB reached a grand target of 175 in their 20 overs. And CSK somehow managed to make that score, where they also made 58 runs in their last 4 overs, just like Mumbai did against KKR. Back to work, we and Ankit started the deployment. I was controlling the desktop of Gotham. Also, today we were introduced to Girija. She had an awesome voice. I was turned on during the call, and was very much attracted to her. Then, I saw her profile on facebook, and the worlds came crashing on me. I was able to concentrate again on the call, and focus on the deployment part. Well, today was a very bad for deployment. Firstly, there was an important IPL match. Secondly, there was some issue with the electricity in our house. Only one of the phase was working, and luckily it was the phase which controlled the ACs. So, after suffering and adjusting for so long without the fans, I switched on the AC in the children's room. I may get a hearing from the residents below, but I am ready to explain the situation. Today was a tiring day, the deployment call went on for more than 2 hours and that too continuously. After the call, I started writing this diary, and now I plan to watch the CSI:Miami episodes and then go to sleep at around 4:30 am.
