Friday the 13th

Last Friday, the day starts out with the VP walking around asking all of the men on my side of the building if we are the one who is tossing paper towels on the floor.

I get to lunch and pages start immediately coming in to tell me that apps from our parent company are not making it into our system. This turns out to be due to a DNS issue which takes 4 hours to completely get the issue resolved.

When that issue is resolved, the Citrix Environment web server goes down. This prevents access to a key piece of business functionality. A workaround is instituted about an hour afterward.

And this afternoon, I find out that the old building, the one with about 8 more critical servers, has been running on generator since Friday, the 13th, at 9:00 AM. This is because the power company followed the original shutoff date instead of the revised one.
