Good:
at 10:30 AM, one of our back end message servers, serving roughly one third of the user population, died. no worries — it seamlessly failed over to its partner, which picked up the phone, and life went on.

Bad:
at 1555, support started to get calls because webmail on one of the other back end message servers, also serving roughly one third of the user population, inexplicably died. five minutes on hold (and my GOD mirapoint has some bad hold music, and i don’t mean bad as in “cool”) and the engineer was like, “well, that shouldn’t have happened!” well … no, actually, it shouldn’t have, thanks for saying so. twenty minutes down. whee.

i don’t care how easy it was to get them. i’m still as happy to have gotten them as if i had spent hours dialling and redialling trying desperately to get through to a bank of bored, chain-smoking operators who were ready to take out automatic weapons and start wiping out the floor managers if they didn’t get five fucking minutes off the goddamn phones, right now, and i’m really not joking this time, now give me your fucking visa number and get the hell off my phone!

yaaaaaay! i hope he talks about anansi boys, although that may be a stupid thing to hope — sort of like, “i hope the sun rises in the east tomorrow” — considering he probably will.

woohoo!

CHICAGO — A North Side Whole Foods Market has reopened after city inspectors closed it Thursday for “substantial rodent activity.”

Following a patron’s complaint, inspectors from the mayor’s Dumpster Task Force closed down the gourmet supermarket at 3300 N. Ashland Ave. But Streets and Sanitation Commissioner Al Sanchez said in a release Friday that the establishment had passed a reinspection and has reopened.
