AM:
There is an emergency build for you today. It needs to be tested. This is to patch a problem and we are going to deploy the patch tomorrow! [Hands out bug number to look at and verify].
Me: OK. No problem.

Late PM:
OK. Build#1 is ready to be tested. Please test.
Me: OK. Running test. Told the rest of the QA team to run their set of regression tests against the build.
Test is taking a while to finish up. Meanwhile, got pinged multiple times about the test result.

While tests are stil running, got informed of change in plans. The patch is going to be deployed to mulitple farms tonight! Yikes!

Finally, the test are finished. I went through the test results. Oh no! Lots of failures and core dumps.

Problem reported and much debugging going on! I am to stay tuned for any new builds and fixes.

I guess it’s going to be a late nighter today …

No wonder I’m tired …
