Happy God Damn New Year.

Today's my first back after the New Year break (Happy 2011, etcetc). I haven't been contacted over the break (I was interstate, visiting family), so either the office is fine, the office is wiped off the face of the Earth, or people are just waiting for me to come back and inflict misery upon me.

Option 3 is nearly always the winner.

OldOfficeLady: "Hey! We can't get into finance server! Oh yea, welcome back." 
Me: "Um, yea, hi, what's wron-"
FrazzledMum: "Hey! Phones are down! Nice haircut!"
Me: "Oh? Phones really aren't my area-"

*mobile rings*

CapsLockGirl: "Hey! Can't get into remote desktop! I heard you got attacked by a lawnmower!"
Me: "How the f-....ok, I'll call you back."

Turns out the new UPS installed over the holidays by PonyGirl couldn't handle those 3 systems. Research?  Testing? Pfft, that's for professionals!

The remote desktop server cooked itself later that day :(
