They just said round 2 is from noon to midnight. It's the calm before the storm right now.

Just pointing out the irony of the photo.

I don't miss IT.

Thankfully, most of our team is IT literate.. so they don't do that
Most of our IT in a place where I worked is just a phone call away ( 9K miles away ).

no onsite IT?
A skeleton onsite crew but most IT issues are handled with a simple phone call and once our partners in India have your IP address our troubles are over.

Luck has a lot to do with that. I've had about 4 of those over the years but many rocks have hit the windshield with no issues. Windshields all have a high stress points, if you know where they are you can practically crack it with a finger nail. I remember many, many years ago when I was a kid. My father had just bought a new Buick. He ran a trucking company and he had it in there just washing it. He casually mentioned that he was going to follow behind some dump trucks to see if he could get the windshield chipped so he could replace it with a tinted windshield. An old mechanic that worked for him heard what he said and quietly walked up, took a very small plastic ice scrapper, lifted up the wiper blade and very gently tapped the windshield with the edge of the scrapper and instantly the windshield looked like a spiderweb. In other words they aren't invincible. At least now, you can usually get it repaired if it doesn't spread to far and most insurance companies cover the repair completely. If you wait to long that the crack starts to head out from the point, the insurance will pay, but there will be a deductible you have to pay. That's the incentive to have it repaired quickly and not wait until it gets worse.

Mom: "There's a tornado warning. Stay put"Bowleys Quarters is 20 minutes away from meView attachment 583922
What I hear: "Come on home, but if you see a tornado, turn around and drive the other way."
....
Well, I made it home didn't I? The worst part of it all is that I got soaked.

Its funny that after they issued this one, they had one for my direct area. That was incredibly nerve wracking

We get tornado warnings on a regular basis and nothing happens.
Except for when the tree fell on the neighbor's house.

I supported a company of a couple thousand people.Thankfully, most of our team is IT literate.. so they don't do that
There were definitely stupid people in there.
I especially liked the ones who put in multiple tickets hoping to get someone different who'd give them a different answer...no, still me, and you still can't install unlicensed software on your computer.
Now apparently one of my former teammates in India handles it since they laid off the American staff. I imagine they're probably failing their audits pretty regularly now.

Cost cutting IT is always the dumbest decision.

At least you weren't driving yourself to the hospital while having an asthma attack
For the most part the IT partners have handled issues with ease and they are a good group to work with.
