The main server where I work is down and has been down since I came in this morning a couple hours ago. There is no time table for it to come back online because out IT is, well, terrible. My boss by and suggested we clean/organize our cubes. My desk is completely empty 90% of the time and currently has five pieces of paper on it that I need to file. I’ll get right on that!
So AMA or not. I’ll be watching Top Gear on YouTube.
Cheers to getting paid while do nothing!
Saleen S7 for your time.
UPDATE: The server came up and has gone back down in the past 40 minutes!

The whole business comes to a halt over a down server?
I can’t imagine how pissed my boss(es) would be if I said anything to the effect of “Yea I dunno when it will be back up.”

Basically, yeah. All of my files are on the main server. So when it goes down, I can’t work.
Fortunately, this happens somewhat frequently. Probably once a quarter.
Some people do have work they can do that is stored on the local machine or do stuff by hand or they just have progress meetings.

We had a server crash due to a power surge. It was the server that ran the DMS for the whole dealership. So we could not do anything. Not even take money for cars that were done. Then all the power went out. That was a fun hour that was spent contemplating shutting down for the day, but then power came back and we rest the server and we could keep working :(. What will you do if they don’t get the server up?

It came up at the same time I published this post. Either way I had a 4 hour call in meeting scheduled for this afternoon.
1-5. On a Friday.

Gotcha, so no cloud shares I guess. Any reason? Is the work that you do super secret?

That would require logic, for thought and a plan. We have none of that here. They want us to use a share drive that would skip our normal server since it is such a disaster but no one enforces it. Kinda store stuff where ever.
Honestly though, today is a prime example of why I use the server alone. It gets backed up every night and is I ever lose a file or it gets down, they can’t be upset over my re-work or lack of work for that day.
You give me tools that aren’t reliable, you suffer the consequences.
