It’s been a hell of a start to the week.
As I was getting ready this morning, about to head out the door to the day job, I got perhaps the worst slack message a systems guy can get:
Hey… the wired network is down.
Some quick testing showed that most of the office was dead in the water. No internet access (except WiFi, weirdly), which meant that VPN for remote workers as well as our fancy new SIP phone system was completely useless.
