So glad I’m not doing user-facing IT support anymore. Last time something like this happened, my boss asked me to send an all-staff email explaining that email wasn’t working.
some time ago my university had problems with an attack. they cut off all ongoing connections, and the majority of services was only available via the vpn. to inform everybody about it, they sent an email which you could only read via vpn, and the vpn client and configs you could only download from inside the network… *facepalm
For my group, basically everything came to a grinding halt. The more fun one is now when LLM’s go down. Oh, Claude not working today, guess no one knows how to get anything done any longer. FFFFFFF.

This was literally my boss yesterday, asking service desk to send an all-company email.
When it came back up today, the first message in there was from corporate IT support telling us that Outlook was down…

Sure thing boss man, I will get right on that.

Fun fact: f in musical notation means “play it loud”
fff means “play it really, really, REALLY loud”
FFFFFFF would be “play it so loud the deaf lady in the back row shits herself. No one on stage should survive this noise”
