I hate conference calls. Today I have two, one where I have to help diagnose problems with a site I've never seen, know nothing about, and can't access, and another where I have to answer questions from a developer who apparently does not know what a form post is. Two key coworkers are out of the office, one of whom has all kinds of secret knowledge that no one else has. Naturally there are issues occurring that require his knowledge. The weather is crappy, Twitter is down, Facebook is practically down, I didn't get much sleep last night, and my guts are twisted in knots.
I hate the phrase "perfect storm," but it keeps coming to mind.
UPDATE: A coworker forwarded this horrifying article. If the terrorists are going after our internets now, I'm joining the army* and going after them! This aggression will not stand!
UPDATE 2: Looks like we might have an explanation, for the Twitter issue, at least.
UPDATE 3: Woo hoo! One of my calls was canceled. It's the one I was less frightened about, but still, one fewer conference call is always good.
UPDATE 4: Well, I made it through the call. Mostly it was me saying, "I don't know," or, "Well, I'm totally guessing here, but this is what could be happening..." Argh. But hey, looks like Twitter's back!
UPDATE 5: Looking back on it, today really wasn't that awful. I didn't have a nervous breakdown or get shot or stabbed or anything. I came through it mostly unscathed. I'll definitely be happy when this week is over and my coworkers have returned. But it could have been worse.
*No, I'm not. I don't think they'd take me, anyway. Plus, they're banning all social network sites now. Talk about Catch-22! |
