Nothing good comes from working at 2am. Company I worked at pushed a major waterfall upgrade one day. Completely tanked the database while attempting to update the schema.

I spent hours on a call with the clients sr. engineer and we eventually came up with a script to fix it. It was after midnight, my director said, good job, you are tired, I'll run the script, call it a night.

An hour later director ran the wrong script... and then called me.

Clients sr. engineer was legitimately flabbergasted, only time I have ever seen that word apply in real life.

Was a not good, very bad day.
