My boss informed me that the servers were down again and to call the technicians in as soon as I walked in the door this morning. I was in such a good mood too and now am not. I knew that the entire staff was going to be crabby when they learned they would not be able to work on their computers till we got back online.

I had been pushing for the buying of used poweredge servers that had been refurbished but no one including my boss thought that we were to that point just yet for that. I had even taken the liberty to print out some used servers and their prices and hang them up in the break room in hopes to get some of the other employees on my side and start asking for the used poweredge servers to be bought too.

After the technicians came down and told my boss that he would be better off buying new servers, he told me to get online and order the used servers that I had been asking for and I did it very quickly. Since they will not be here until next week, the technicians got us up and running but did not make any promises that we would stay that way.
