Ouch! We had a flood last week in our office, thankfully I put some UPS's up on milk crates the week before :)

I know what you mean though, came in today to find out that one of our client's Intranet websites was hacked three weeks ago. The funny thing is they never bothered to tell us, we found out on our own when we were looking to demo the site. Now to find some backups from early June... :mad:

Guess those storms really did a number eh?

I was woken up at 6AM saturday morning by thunder. From 6AM to 7AM was pretty much one giant string of thunderclaps, with next to no gaps between them.

Oddly enough it was warm and sunny for the 2 hours I spent at Candas Wonderland.

Though I forgot to convert my car window to rain mode. So on the drive back to Kitchener I was getting pelted in the head by rain when I hit the giant thunderstorm. Guess I really should get that window fixed. ;)

Yeah... tell me about it... we were very lucking as we had around 20 CISCO IP handsets sitting there as well... each one is around $400 and none got damaged.

We really really lucked out.

Definately gonna take a 2hr lunch today... :)

What an ODD and RANDOM thing to say!

Anyways, when I worked for a colocation, we were on the top floor of our building. No worries about silly floods. :twisted:

I understand the hardships you've had today deserves a fistful of Advils, but the IT industry itself is just a big head ache. Beside every terminal should sit a bottle of Advil or what ever choice of poison you prefer.

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.
Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know there's nothing wrong with that name.
Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
Samir: Hmm... well why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?
Michael Bolton: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

If you work in an office and having seen the move you need to take off now and go rent it. ;)

-Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour.
-Da-uh? Space out?
-Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
