Default Lagering Question

I have a lager (AHS Shiner Bock clone....yes, I know you don't like Shiner, no, I don't care because I grew up with it ) that has been going for a couple of months now.

Fermentation/conditioning schedule:
1. Primary starting at 68F degrees for 1 day then over a two day period reduce temperature to mid to low 50sF
2. Cold primary fermentation in fridge around mid 50sF for about a month
3. Over 3 days slowly raise temp to around 68F
4. Perform a 2 day diacetyl rest at 68F
5. Rack to secondary
6. Lager in the fridge at 40 degrees for 7 weeks

Question is - about 2 weeks ago, I decided I can't have this in the fridge anymore so I have it sitting at room temperature (constant 65-68 degrees). I'm wondering what effect this will have on the beer (a post lagering conditioning if you will).

Thanks.

It should be fine if it is indeed in the "post lagering" period. There should be little to no effect on this post lagered beer. Many commercial lagers are stored on the shleves in retail outlets at room temp.
