Aaaahhhhh.

The big upgrade has been installed. I spent over 15 hours at work yesterday, starting at 2:30am, and around 11 today... My team is tired, but the signs are very clear: We did a good job. We're dealing with a mere handful of issues, most of which we were able to clear up within hours. Hospital operations were back on track without a blip. We're only the third client in the country to upgrade to this version of the software so far, which was a bit risky, I admit. But almost every other hospital in town who runs this software will be upgrading in the next 12 months... and we've proven it can be done well.

I've resisted posting before now to ward off any jinxes... but as we're over 36 hours with no major bumps, I think I might be justified in giving out a whoop and a holler.

People had thought I was crazily optimistic to plan my exit from the client only one week into the upgrade - that we'd be chasing issues for weeks. And we may still find issues, yes. But Friday is sure looking like a fine day to make my way off to the new client for full time.

So it's off to an early bedtime for me... much sleep needs to be caught up on.
