Forgot to set my alarm last night, so I overslept by about 25 minutes. Though I probably would’ve hit snooze 2 or 3 times anyway, so it evened out. Decided to finish breakfast before leaving, though, instead of eating at my desk, so I got in later than I intended.
Stepped out of the elevator and the VP was just stepping out the door, saw me, and said, “You’re here!”
“Um… I was here yesterday afternoon too…”
“Now you can fix the network!”
Yep — the internal network had gone down this morning, right about the time I walked out the door. They’d been trying to call me at home (which didn’t work, since, well, I wasn’t there). So I spent the next 20 minutes looking at blinkenlights and trying to figure out which boxes needed to be reset and so on.
In retrospect, I’m glad I finished breakfast first.
The phone rang at some point while I was mostly asleep and I couldn’t tell whether anyone left a message…when I got up and checked it, it was from your work. I came thiiiis close to calling but realized you’d already have dealt with it or started to. Good to know it only took 20 min.
