Yesterday was a fun day. I don't even know exactly why, but it was a great day to be alive in the life of me. I think it was because we had a storm come through our area. It was thundering and lightninging and stuff. When I got to my internship, it was right at the start of the bad part of the storm. I walked in, and everyone paused at the first flash... THen the UPS systems on all their servers started beeping. At this point, everyone started yelling and running around shutting down all the computers they could find. The main linux server crashed due to one of the spikes, and that got a loud "GOD D@MN IT!" from one of my bosses. After three minutes or so of this madness, Dan shut off the circuit breaker and we all went outside to watch the lightning and talk about the cohesive properties of H2O.
And that's why my day was so much fun!
