This used to be my workflow as well. I did make a few improvements though
- begin change control at 4:55pm on Friday before Christmas
- schedule reboot
- paste changes
- make sure everything is working properly
- leave security key on desk
- go to christmas party
- firewall goes offline, pages go off
- remotely log into firewall with phone
- rush back to office to get security key
- accidentally type init 1 hanging server
- discount datacenter remote hands not picking up the phone
- rush to datacenter to power cycle server
- :(
