Show Me the Mommy! Production release edition

Last night, my team released code to production. To keep software systems running smoothly, software minions have to upgrade systems when everyone else is sleeping or people get super cranky (see Blogger outage outrage from last week). I worked from 1:30-4AM and didn't get to sleep until 5AM. The house cleaners showed up early, right at 9AM (NOT complaining about that).

I was haggard this morning. Despite the lack of sleep, I love being a working mom.

4 hours sleep


This photo is also notable for two other reasons.

1. My iphone was dying a very quick death (it was a refurbished iphone1!) so I upgraded to iphone 4 last weekend. Why did no one tell me about the awesome feature where you can see pictures you're taking of yourself???? That would have been worth the upgrade!

2. I'm finally on instagram as user lauracase. Finally.

PS. I am running a half marathon on Sunday morning with Irene. Wish us luck!

Bleh, M has to work those overnight maintenance windows sometimes, too. Brutal.

Have a great race!

Good luck. As a verizon customer eligible for an upgrade in Oct I will be getting an iphone and someone in Vegas had the new one and one of my fave things was that you can yourself when you are taking self-portraits. Such a cool little thing, huh?

Good luck this weekend! I'm thinking of getting an iphone when I am elgible for an upgrade later this year. I've been a blackberry girl for so long because touchscreens scare me. LOL!
