Server room off the port bow! 23 June 2005 at 3:36 pm by Jason 47 views

So, I’m at work, and it seems that our server room has decided (all by itself, mind you. I’m pretty sure it didn’t check with anyone) that it wants to become an ocean… and the servers think it’s quite a good idea (I think I heard the VPN say that it was a pontoon boat in a previous life). I’m sure you’re wondering how I came to this conclusion, well it’s quite simple, actually. It’s a hot, sunny day, and it hasn’t rained in weeks, and yet the floor of the server room is flooding. The water isn’t coming from the celing or anything, no, it’s actually coming up from the ground. Now, we can’t see where it’s coming from (there is carpet everywhere), but it’s definately coming from below. The big problem with this, is that there isn’t anything below… just cement. So, the water is currently about three feet away from the systems, and is being sucked/blown by a giant fan. Hopefully it helps, but if it doesn’t, please give me a lift back to port… I’ll be the one clinging to the AS/400.
