Dear Public Works Asshats:
The next time you feel compelled to turn the power to a 24x7 lab facility filled with sensitive electronic equipment on and off repeatedly, please let us know before you do it. An hour or two, at least, would be nice, so we can bring all the equipment happily down.
But no, you couldn't do that. And now I have a possibly trashed core router (do you want the bill for that? I think it cost us somewhere around a quarter million...), an alert server that managed to crash the base email server, and a freaking air conditioner making all the problems even worse. One of your air conditioners, in fact.
And what the hell are we supposed to tell our users? "The air conditioner is trashing the network." Right - like they're going to believe that. I barely believe it.
In conclusion: *STAB*
Oh yea - got the old "no funding" email today. Just the icing on the freaking cake...
