Yup. My office is on fire…
If you’ve been around me lately, you know I’m working on a cursed project. It’s been one Murphy’s Law moment after another. Witness the latest example.
You see, things were finally going right. The stars had aligned and we were ready to execute a successful test. I was optimistic. At the start of the test I said, and I quote: "Let’s set this infrastructure on fire."
Oh boy.
We were almost the entire way through a successful test – in the home stretch. Then everything fell apart. Connections disappeared and we lost everything. At first we thought the test had simply failed. Then we saw the firemen.
Yup. Our data center is on fire. I took a picture, got in my car and came home. Oh well… Maybe next week if there’s anything left to run a test on.
Go on. Tell me I’m not cursed.

You totally could have photoshopped that picture to make flames shooting out the windows!
Dude, I’m sorry this is the Project from Hell. At least you got an early day out of all of that… bright side? (And not ‘bright’ as in you were confronted by flames in your cubicle??)

Oh, and I forgot to say– it takes fire trucks arriving at your office to finally get you to blog again??

Good Lord! Glad you got out ok. Hopefully the data itself is not lost.

I finally figured out that this was the only way they’d actually let you LEAVE.
