one time at my last job i took a friday off for a wedding, with family i hadn't seen in two years

the night before we had a deployment of one of our apps, so i deployed, devs said everything was fine, and i went to bed

got up in the morning and started getting dressed when i get a call from a conference line at work saying that apache is down and won't start, and that we might need to redeploy???

i calmly explain "i sent you an email with the three other people who can deal with this, i took today off" but of course because i'm a bit of a pushover (and my boss would've yelled at me) i get roped in anyway

keep in mind i was planning to leave early, since it's an hour and a half drive to the wedding

i'm on the loving phone muted for three hours before someone goes "oh... OHHHH" and everyone on the conference call freaks out like "DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT"

turns out there was a duplicate line for something in the apache config, which didn't get noticed because the previous night's deployment didn't include a restart (???) and apparently nobody bothered to check that the app was on the new version before doing smoke testing so everything was a-ok until the nightly restart where poo poo hit the fan

i missed the reception because nobody thought to check the apache config :suicide:

i was lamenting about webex during our weekly status meeting (we were trying to get a telepresence unit connected to our webex so we could use the webex line while still using telepresence and it just didn't loving work at all) and my coworker asked me "well, who's got it right then" and i said "nobody"

i think i saw a look of realization in his eyes

Because the new CIO they hired was a sales exec from Oracle.
