When the Site Goes Down...
So there I was working the other night when the entire site just disappeared. Clearly something was wrong. Since the entire business (and thus my paycheck) are dependent on the site being up, I was a bit upset. Plus, I like to get paid and I can't get paid if I can't work because the site's down. Boo.Sadly, it was 3 AM and how comfortable would you be calling an IT guy you don't know to tell him that he needs to get up and fix things ASAP? Today I was happily enjoying being able to work when the site went down again. IT Guy sends an e-mail saying it blipped and everything is fine. Wrong. I can't do anything but he's on his way home and can't fix the problem for another hour. I hate server "upgrades". They never make anything better all they do is screw things up.
