I live for days like this.
June 17, 2005 @ 06:49 AMOne of our most important servers - used for testing internal builds and such - crashed.
Now, this doesn’t upset me. See, this was a Windows machine.
Another case were they just didn’t listen to me. I’ll do my job and do whatever I can to fix the problem, but I have little sympathy for the headache this has caused.
In fact, I’ve started keeping a log of all the incidents that have cost us time or money that have been directly related to Windows or cheap PC hardware. Just from what I can recall in the last couple weeks, it already totals 18 man-hours of labor and $1,100 dollars in hardware.
