Perhaps you should consider working with your management to establish a formal, weekly, change-window.
For example, many companies block off Thursday evenings for changes. Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, you would then send out to everyone in the company a brief summary of what's going to happen, why it's needed, and when it's going to start. Sending it out twice gives people a chance to respond with time-issues.
A formal weekly (or more often) change-window can ensure timely updates as well as allowing everyone to plan, and of course you wouldn't have to come in on an unpredictable schedule.
I hope you realize that a fireproof box won't do much to protect a CD -- it still allows heat in which will turn the CD into a pile of goo.... It does prevent oxygen from being exchanged with the air outside the box, which keeps things like paper from being burned.
And that's a firebox's purpose -- to deny oxygen so combustion cannot take place. Plastic mediums will still melt!
I completely agree -- I would *really* like to be able to read some advanced literature on PHP. All the PHP books I've seen cover more or less the same topics and are all pretty basic.
I couldn't agree more -- in trying to make the switch to web applications development from a couple of years of network administration, I'm finding it difficult to find anyone who wants to hire someone who has the knowledge, work ethic, and the enthusiasm but not 4 or 5 years experience. This just makes a catch-22 -- how to get the experience to go with the knowledge w/o the job?!
Interestingly enough, I had an interview last Monday for a job doing backend development work during which I asked the Interface designer (recently hired) how he got his web experience. He has a degree in Graphics Design, he never wanted or intended to get into web design But his first job ended up being almost exclusively web-related. In other words, someone hired him b/c of his knowledge in a related field and then were able to quickly train him in the desired field.
Six months would be more than enough time for me, and pro-rating the cost of training is a fair proposal that benefits both sides.
Remember your Psych 101 classes? More activity is indicative of poorer performance -- novices in a field always have much more brain activity than experts. This study tells me that the brain is having a harder and harder time as sleep deprevation increases! That's not good....

I'm using IE 4.something (at work) and I consistently see 1998 as the date.
