KABOOM! Sydney office (+ surrounding block) loses power due to a rather large thunderstorm.
---
iOrgasm: *walking into my office* "I heard that the Sydney office is offline?"
Me: "Er...*checks*...yes! But server is still up, UPS has kicked in, so all is fine."
iOrgasm: "What would happen if no UPS?"
Me: "We'd probably lose our jobs for being retards, but um...probably nothing. Maybe some small data loss."
iOrgasm: "Worst case scenario?"
Me: "Um...there's a power spike, power supply blows up, takes server with it, all the day's work is lost, lots of money spent on new server, lots of hours spend on rebuilding OS, restoring from backup, etcetc"
iOrgasm: "Cool. Put that in an e-mail, and send it to me. I need to scare the BigBoss"
Me: "But...the UPS worked perfectly. I didn't even know that Sydney was offline."
iOrgasm: "Do it!"

If I ever get into management, I wonder, will I become this kind of person? Is this the kind of game that has to be played to survive?
