westernindSo, I go to Rome for the weekend to sing the Mozart Mass in C Minor. The downside is having to get up at 4am this morning to get the 6.35am flight back, to be in time to let workmen into the house to install our acoustic secondary glazing.
No, they're not the cowboys...
I get home to an email from co-worker. He is about to refresh production databases using the current development build, because he doesn't know how to make a new point release build. He didn't tell me that he had scheduled the upgrade for today. And he was working from home on Friday, and not responding to MSN when I contacted him (despite being off sick) to ask when he needed the new build. Oh, and the new build process has been fully documented for a couple of years. The process is in the documentation database, where it should be, where we keep all our documentation.
I have no authority to stop him doing this stupid thing. All I can do is grass him up to the boss, something I haven't done before; but after four years of trying, I am now really sick of trying to implement processes by persuasion.
