The message I received from our IT guy, who must be doing the same maintainence as you, was:

There will be a 15min outage happening at 00:00-00:15 Tuesday morning.

Tell the coworker to look it up.

Tuesday mid-night means in the middle of Tuesday night. Tuesday at 00:00:00 is Tuesday morning.

Just remember the golden rule in IT. So long as the guy who can fire you understands, joe bloe users dont need to. Just remember to exclude this "special" user from all further updates.

PS, you are hardcore, updates at midnight. Geesh, we do most of ours between 8 and 10pm.

Well, I'm up at midnight anyway, and it will only take me 15 minutes at the most. I can also do it remotely from home. That way I don't have to come in a couple of hours early to get in ahead of the people who start early.

Also your previous comment (I think it was you) of my co-worker being an anal-retentive ###### was so much more funny to me because I told him he was being anal.

What people are you talking about, play-schoolers? I understand people can be naive, but lets not get carried away! I think you'd be hard pressed to find a sound adult who thinks midnight is noon!

I just mean that a lot of people get confused with with difference between 12am and 12pm. Lots of people think that midnight is 12pm. I hate that!
