Stupid datacenter monkeys
I just got phoned to confirm that a fileserver wasn’t down.
At five in the morning.
Because it wasn’t fucking obvious from the nagios display that the stupid fileserver wasn’t down.
As a bonus, I’m dead fucking last on the on-call list this week. And the on-call list has four people on it. They went through every single other sysadmin and all of them ignored their phones. I’m turning my phone off now. If the rest of my team isn’t competent enough to answer their phones, that’s officially Not My Problem.
Christ, I work with a bunch of worthless incompetents.
You should call this tech up, at 4AM, and say, he wasn’t fired.
