Our primary upstream internet provider cocked things up for us for three hours today by pulling some fiber out that they didn't realize was live.   :roll:

Needless to say, it was 4:00 before I had a chance to take lunch.

And by "lunch" I mean wolfing down a flavorless cold sandwich at my desk while trying to get a fucking mob of people off my back.

So at the moment I'm at home (thank Pepe) drinking a cold bottle of Sam Adams Scotch Ale.

Soon to be followed by a tumbler of Laphroaig single malt that is in a bottle on my counter, waiting to be opened.

What are you drinkin'?

I should mention, my job is to manage terminal servers.  Without an internet connection to our data center, we have about 1000 pissed off customers.

Yeah, that'd have been nice.

No, they just fucked our fiber.  Our phone lines were unaffected, because they're through a different provider.

Alternating between rapidly cooling coffee that my wonderful boyfriend brought me because I was having a lousy day and some cranberry/raspberry juice because I'm trying to avoid soda for at least a day.

Later, who knows? Depends on how much I eat for the rest of the night.

For some strange reason, I've been drinking carrot juice a lot lately.
