Did the upgrade I missed (eazy peazy) at 2am, and everyone's happy now. They need me bad enough its hard to do permanent damage. Not gonna be long till I get out of the game tho, tired of working for money.
Not much Oracle.

But heavy in SQL Server, MySQL, DB2, and lately MongoDB, which is the new RAGE.

Lots and Lots and Lots of cloud stuff.

And you got that right about odd hours.......Lots of late night work, but that is why I can spend 8 weeks at the lake. I can shift work to whenever I need to work, and that has been a huge benefit.
