You should read the forums more often. Last week they announced that you could pre-download the update and not have to sit through it when it went live.
All you had to do was log on, and then when you logged off it started downloading. Then just let it download instead of cancelling.

President (Working on Important Business, doesn't look up): What is it?
Secretary: Mr. President, we have an Emergency on our hands!!!!
President (Pauses and looks away from computer): Yes?
Secretary: This just came in! (Hands Document to President) Approximately 85% of all Office Workers have called in sick or have come down with a strange sickness at work today! Mr. President, we may have an epidemic on our hands!
President (looking serious): I'll inform the public immediately.
Secretary: Mr. President, what could be going on?
President (looks briefly at computer which has his CoH character, "President Man" safe in the hospital): Uh... I don't know...

Dang the Canuks call us Yanks as well?
I always figured they called us ... Well never mind it would just get bleeped. 
Ok, whatever genius at Cryptic decided that they'll start the first server-wide event since the game launched at the start of the work day (PST), needs to be arrested...immediately...
I'm so excited, I could wet myself right now...
As a super hero... ya ever just rip off your regular clothes and fly out the window.... later realizing you forgot to put on your superhero tights under your regular clothes?
Come on 5 PM!!!

Please read through the thread before posting something that has already been discussed to death. Let me sum up....
"No, they can't release it while I'm at work."
"But, your work hours are Cryptics work hours. Plus the load will be lighter. Thus the devs can fix all issues, on the clock, without EVERYONE having to experience all the bugs. By the time you get home, everything will be good to go. Stop crying"
"Oh, I guess your right...'
.
..
...
"No, they can't release it while I'm at work." (repeat et. al)

Edit: Just for the record, I too work on the West coast. I probably won't be online till 5:30, which is still 7 hours away... 6 hours 59 minutes....
3.....hours...to go....

Plus the half hour it takes to download the new patch. I've been going at it a while - DAMN this thing is huge. And this is with the content of issue 2 already pre-loaded.
This is Dr. Deborah Laskins -- 'Dead Debbie' -- reporting from my lab in Steel Canyon. We finally got one of these creatures onto a dissection table. They appear to be extradimensional -- no surprise to anybody -- and have a harmonic link to electromagnetic field patterns. Expect energy attacks and magnetic-based hold effects. They might be vulnerable to slashing attacks, but it's difficult to tell with this rapidly decaying tissue.
I'm probably contributing best by studying these things in the lab, but my associate Orbstar is on his way to help. Hold tight. These things aren't as smart nor as numerous as Rikti -- we should pull through this if we work together.

Life is funny. Death is funnier. Mass slaughter can be hilarious.
Heya,

(Unknown Hero looks around office, notices everyone staring hypnotically at clock)
Unknown Hero: So, Ted, how are things with the wife?
(Ted doesn't answer, continues staring at clock)
Unknown Hero: Right, well I'll just go give these to the Boss then...
(Walks to Bosses office, Boss staring at clock)
Unknown Hero: Um... I have the report you wanted today...
Boss (at clock): [censored] IT! GO FASTER, [censored] YOU!!!!
(Unknown Hero silently creeps out door, runs into Company President)
CP: Unknown Hero, I want you in my office! NOW!
(Unknown Hero walks into CP's office)
CP: Now, would you mind telling me why you're the only one in this WHOLE COMPANY actually DOING SOMETHING?!?!
Unknown Hero: Well...
CP: Forget it! I should fire the whole lot of you, you worthless...
(Unknown Hero looks at CP's computer)
Unknown Hero: "Super Bunny Girl"? (Holds back laughter)
CP (stops yelling, walks non-chalantly to Unkown Hero): I'll give you a week's paid vacation if you don't mention this to anyone, EVER.
Unkown Hero: Done.

Dude,
I know thats right. My old lady. (figure of speech) Swears that I love the game more than her. You know that is just not right. I lay next to her 4 or 5 hours a night while she is leeping..right!
Please don't kill them all until I can help... The only problem with working for the Military and being a hero... the nation takes precendence over the more important issue of Heroing!!!
