PM:

Work today, was interesting. There was an epic network failure that occurred. Nothing we did and nothing we could fix so we were like Switzerland, we were neutral. The new network engineering team that was just brought it was going crazy trying to fix it. The whole 5th floor lost network connectivity. Things in the Data center lost connectivity. I checked the 5th floor telco closet and I saw there was no power to any of the equipment. I knew there was nothing for us to do. The Building maintenance team was going to be involved for the electrical problem. It took over an hour for the Network telephones to come online. Email, internet, messaging etc took longer. When we left for the day there were still systems not back online. I don’t know what caused the power to go out. Could be operator error tripping the wrong breaker, power surge tripping the breaker, someone might have hit the emergency cutoff switch for some reason(security footage will show that), could have been cleaners overloading a circuit with a vacuum cleaner (they should better unless they we new) The new company was just tested with it’s first crisis in 3-4 months of being on site. They did not hire on many of the previous employees that had good knowledge of the place. Monday is going to be interesting, for work and for my schooling choices!
