Exactly not at all.
It didn’t
I was camping without cell service.
Came back to news of a massive IT outage and Biden dropping out, pretty wild how much can happen when you’re off the grid
Holy crap, same here! Came back to service and phone blew up with all the news.
In my experience the opposite happens more often, you expect at least some major news but nothing of note happened and you have no notifications from people trying to get ahold of you etc. so you just feel weirdly empty because you spend so much time and effort keeping up with the world, friends and family normally.
Fridays are my cheat day. All week long I look forward to getting a big ole breakfast burrito at a local restaurant. I pull in that morning and there’s a “cash only” sign. Well I don’t have any cash on me. Ruined my damn morning.
great lesson why you have some cash on you, like enough to fill up your gas tank.
Yes it was a good reminder for me. I usually always carry cash for this reason, but I had spent my cash and was lazy about making the time to swing by the bank for more. I did do that later that day and am back to carrying cash on me.
What kind of breakfast burrito?
The real question here
It’s called the big omelette burrito with brisket. It’s a big omelet, 3 eggs, cheese, meat of your choice (I go with brisket) pico de gallo, refried beans. It’s amazing. It also serves as my lunch because it’s huge.
Dear lord, that sounds incredible. I assume it feeds 3 adults
Since I run Arch I was totally fine with it. I run Arch BTW.
We weren’t able to send work orders to maintenance for a day. We sent it the next day.
I was devastated.
Everything opened slowly at work for a day, and a bunch of coworkers got a free paid half day off because they couldn’t login.
I work with CNC machines, and those were unaffected. But the measuring devices we use to double - check tolerances and record the fact that our parts are good went down. The computer that tracks the number of good parts and scraps for the day were also down.
So, we kept running and did more manual checks with micrometers and gages. Work slowed slightly, and record keeping had to be on paper for a while and entered manually on Monday.
Also we couldn’t clock in that day, the time tracking computer was also down. So a head count was taken and also entered into eh computer once it got running
We were coming through ATL airport on the Sunday after things had somewhat calmed down. But… Not for Delta. The entire flights board was red. Delayed, cancelled, crazy.
One person and been stuck in Atlanta since Thursday and managed to get on our flight to move one step closer to home. We got stupid stupid lucky to miss the worst of the chaos and only ended up with a few hours delay. Hauling three of our kids through airports when you don’t know if any flight will even be scheduled is not a fun experience.
Made it home in a reasonable timeframe, but only by luck.
Zero affect. Not traveling, and work systems apparently aren’t protected by it … not sure if that’s good or bad 😂
Multiple 15-hour days, working from 5 AM to 8 PM. I work in healthcare, so it was essential to get most of these servers back online as soon as possible
Thankfully we’re 90% Linux so not much, but one of our SAs had to patch a bunch of instances.
From what I gather, a relatively large number of people’s laptops at work BSOD’d. A few still aren’t working. My laptop worked fine, and I definitely did not slack off all day.
Got to sit around and play video games for half a day until someone from IT called and was like “yeah we need to walk you through the work around.”
I was camping and forgot to bring cash and the shops had card machines, so I wasn’t able to send a postcard
