Omnipod - Pod Fill Question

Can anyone on the Omnipod give input on the following scenario?

Here's what I'd like to do: Fill my (next) pod either the night before or the morning of the day it will be changed. This way, it's loaded and ready to go, and I wouldn't have to fuss with filling my pod at work or wherever other inconvenient place I may be.

No worries, I'll still have my current vial of insulin with me, in case anything goes wrong. But have any other Omnipod users done this? Or do you think it's a viable option?

Thanks much,
Jennifer

Nevermind - I just found in the manual that if the pod is not activated within 60 minutes, it must be deactivated and discarded... So much for that idea.
