August 6, 2007 at 10:02 am #1117269Stupid, stupid, stupid!”just in case this site hasn’t given you enough reasons to think twice before leaving a passive-aggressive note, tobjar in oakland passes along this cautionary tale from worsethanfailure.com:Not too long ago, there was a small furor in the local media about a major disaster at The State’s Technology Services Division.…When employees of The State came in to work following a three day weekend, they found their workstations overloaded with “cannot logon” and “Exchange communication” error messages. The Network Services folks had it even worse: the server room was a sweltering 109° Fahrenheit and filled with dead or dying servers….They worked day and night to order new equipment, build new servers, and restore everything from back-up. Countless overtime hours and nearly two hundred thousand dollars in equipment costs later, they managed to bring everything back online. When the Exchange servers were finally restored, the following email finally made its way to everyone’s inbox:”

this is it below :laugh_at::laugh_at:
bet it had to be someone senior as you don’t just get an access card in a government building in places like server rooms unless you have sufficient authority…

Re: A/C constantly running.To whom it may concern,
I came in today (Monday) to finish up a project I was working
on before our big meeting with the State
Commission tomorrow, and I noticed that there were three or four large air conditioners running the entire time I was here. Since it’s a three day weekend, no one is around, why do we need to have the A/C running 24/7?With all the power that all those big computers in that room use, I doubt it is really eco-friendly to run those big units at the same time. And all computers have cooling fans anyway, so why put the A/C for the building in that room?
I got a keycard from [the facility manager’s] desk and shut off the A/C units. I’m sure you guys can deal with it being warm for an hour or two when you come in tomorrow morning.
In the future, let’s try to be a little more conscientious of our energy usage!
Thanks,

August 6, 2007 at 7:46 pm #1117267I like the kitchen ones that are here:
Anyone else here have the thought that the solution to the woes presented is to smash all the dishes in the kitchen, clean them into the bin, and leave a note saying “problem sorted”, with a couple of takeaway menus clipped to it? :groucho::groucho::groucho:
Or am I just maladjusted?:laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at:
And as for the servers – nearly fell off my chair laughing…:biggreen::biggreen::biggreen:
Bet it was someone senior, and I hope they got sent the energy usage figures and a bill for the server work/replacement – make sure they aren’t so “conscientious” next time…:laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at:
