Krogan

I married a Krogan and am proud of it.

It's Part of My Job

The preparation and planning had been weeks in the making. Rehearsed several times. I know the selected date and time. The time has come. I'm waiting for midnight. It's dark except the illumination from several open windows. I watch, focused on a single window. They've been warned, I think to myself. This is never easy. No-one sees me, no-one hears me, but they suspect I'm there. Midnight. Word comes in, it's time, it's a go. I have control for success or failure. I slowly move my hand and index finger into position. Select my target . I double-tap and Execute. I watch, intently focused - ok - done. I adjust slightly. I Select my next target. Another double-tap and Execute. I continue four more times. Adjusting slightly for each. Finished! I check my clock and focus on another window. Second task - change my tools. I select my source targets, intent on sending them to their intended destination. Done!, a quick check, three minutes left. Third task- another change of tools. I browse, enter the solution and launch. It's over more quickly than I expected - I'm in. I quickly perform a series of pre-determined checks. I move quickly: clear, clear - looks okay - one minute left. I check in with (REDACTED) - I give the go ahead. I sit back and watch the Agents go in. Another mission accomplished! Yes, I had a fifteen minute window, 12:00 - 12:15 to remotely transfer data From one server to a newer sever and upload a new Version of a call center web application I waited and watched the application in my browser as Agents got back into their cases and created new one's. They knew they would be locked out of the old one at midnight. At midnight, I started double-clicking to execute a series of SQL jobs to transfer database data to a new sever. After the data was moved, using FTP, I selected the updated web app files and uploaded them to the web server. I launched the app in my browser, logged in, checked some key elements. Then, with my go ahead, Call center Agents got back in and opened their cases. I watched as cases showed up in the call-center queue's. Back in business.
