             Our customer wasn't the only thing down this week …

Now, about that last lesson [1] …

I don't get drunk, but I do tend to get rather agitated when under pressure
[that statement alone should win “Understatement of the Year” Award. —
Editor], and I'm surprised there wasn't more collateral damage [where ever
you got those racks from, Smirk, keep them. They take a lot of abuse. —
Editor].

There's also no real evidence that was a drunk employee took down 1/3 of the
Internet earlier this week [2]. Apparently, it was major power outtage in San
Fransciso coupled with a massive backup generator failure [3] that took out
1/3 of the Internet earlier this week (link via Flutterby [4]).
