I remember when I was working for a dot bomb. They had us in this really funky office building in Culver City. The air conditioner for the programming area was controlled by another company's office space in the same building.
One day the sales manager (who brought her dog in all the time) decided to call one of those mobile grooming places to groom the dog. He connected in through the window into a socket inside the programming area. 5 minutes later (BOOM). All lights, servers, etc were down for the rest of the day. Ahhh the bad ole days.

For several years if we used the microwave without turning off the switch on the coffeepot, and the refrigerator cycled on, it would blow power to half the plugs in the office (in a double-wide trailer). Took us a long time to get it fixed. And right after that they moved us to the admin building. Somehow, sending an (in-house) electrician to fix something in our office got "lost" in the paperwork pile compared to fixing the things that actually make money in the plant. <sigh> -Ben -----Original Message----- From: Angel Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 10:39 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Quiet today? ROFLMAO! That sounded so funny for some reason :) "Whats that those people are talking about? The coffeepot took out the power again?" LOL! Are electricians hard to find where that office is located? :) -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Greenwood, Erin E. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] No deadlines, of course. But the db and the webserver mysteriously stopped talking together again. Get in car. Drive over here. (Brief stop for carryout from Taco Hell. Yuck!) Restart webserver. Nope. Restart coldfusion. Yup. Okay. "Well, while I'm here may as well do the normal stuff. Hmmm. Funny that. The db seems to have restarted itself at 11:15. What's that those people are talking about? The coffeepot took out the power again? Brilliant." Whee. e ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
