Oh joy, great start to my work week. Sole person for the week doing all tasks. I started at 05:15 and zero issues. Around 08:20 it went into the electronic septic tank. Ten to fifteen minute response time for anything that needed the network. I did what I know we would be asked. I rebooted the system. Didn't work, and I let the team know through our chat that they may have issues too. Called helpdesk and it took ten minutes for them to remote to my machine. Determined it is a major network outage (no kidding, I knew that) and opened a ticket. Since Outlook depends on the network drive nothing has shown up. Just watching my email and zero emails and I know the tsunami will hit eventually. I am not looking forward to that as I am the sole person on the team this week and will get flooded by system access requests, messages about the network, the oncall person and in the middle of prep work for an upcoming code release. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WHISKEY to handle today and on the third large mug of coffee.
