Hey nice! Surprise half days happen so infrequently at work that I remember when it has!
Water main break in a major city, VP ran in and said “So… how quickly can we shut the servers down? They fire department said we have a few minutes before the water might start coming in.”
Thankfully I was just an engineer and he was like “everyone else can just go home!” So I did.
Oh, I am just so happy to be working from home. I mean I ended up staying online a bit later to mop up some small tasks, but still. Back when I worked in a call center they had these business continuity procedures. Like, not even a fire in the building would mean stopping work. There was never an actual fire but the expectation was that after the evacuation they’d stuff people into shuttles and take them to a hotel business center to continue working. Crazy stuff.
