The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) VII

Hey all! Sorry I've been absent. Yesterday at 6am my phone started blowing up with text messages. At one of the two hospitals that I provide network support for the facilities department, during the monthly testing of the generator, blew a 480v breaker that supplied critical power to THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL!

Just imagine...you're in surgery..you've got your hand on someone's heart...and the freakin power goes out FOR TWO HOURS!!

All my network closets dumped their power, our redundant core routers..gone, our redundant wan routers that support our data circuits back to our corporate offices....gone, all phone service (inbound and out)...gone, all wireless access points for communication...gone!

Anyways, once the power was restored we got everything chugging along with no hardware failures!! That's 22 network closets and nearly 200 wireless access points..all good to go!

So..in short...I'm back!
