My office job was taken down by the global Microsoft challenges everyone faced yesterday. I called the IT help desk every few hours and listened to the queue grow in size from 250 to 300 to 500 to over 500 and then by the end of the day, the IT folks gave up taking calls and finally said – please leave your name and phone number and your availability over the weekend and we’ll call you back.
Over 7,000 people affected. I might go into the office (aka the mother ship) on Monday to see an IT person in real life. Does that even happen anymore?
It’s so scary. How many people do you think went without medical care because of this?! Crazy how reliant we are on technology.
