07/15/2005 Archived Entry: "D'oh"

Missed making an entry yesterday. Damn it. And I was trying to be so good, too!

We finally got our rain. I was awakened at a little after 0530 this morning by the sound of thunder and a driving torrent of water falling from the sky; even though I couldn't go back to sleep, it was certainly peaceful to just lie there, dead-tired, and listen.

A customer just came through here, hunting down someone in charge of a certain system that's apparently gone tango-uniform, shouting about how this was "Urgent, very very urgent". The user found their sysadmin and ran off with him, still muttering about how urgent the issue was.

Fifteen seconds after they departed, somebody in the *nix admin row cranks their speakers and starts blaring Foreigner's "Urgent" at max volume. It was a humorous moment.
