being on call is sometimes a nightmare
« on: December 06, 2006, 11:16:15 PM »

It's a good job I'm naturally calm, just took a call from our service desk who work 24hrs to tell me that there was a 'priority 1' incident and that our main system was down....... he was reasy to start all the contact directors etc. i had a look and called the people that had reported faults and guess what ? It was just a guy who had forgotten his password...... :pottytrain2:

Thanks god that's over the bloody numpty, you'd think that people who took calls as a job would ask the right questions really and wouldn't get in such a panic. :icon_scratch:

Anyhow that's the world saved once again  :tongue2:
