one day C accidentally unplugged the UPS under her desk from its power source and it started beeping.
A frantic phone call and email with instructions to “fix it now!” Unfortunately, the desk was about 24” long and 600lbs, and on-top of the power and network drop in the raised floor.
Me: Ma’am, we’re going to have to shift the desk and unplug a bunch of stuff to get to the power conduit.
C: I DON’T CARE. NO MORE EXCUSES. MAKE IT STOP BEEPING, RIGHT NOW.
At this point, we had been working the issue for about five minutes, most of it being yelled at, and my coworker had enough when he asked slyly, “Make it stop beeping?”
Me: Yes.
He reaches down and you hear a long BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.
Her entire desk, consisting of about six workstations cuts off.
Dead silence. After a moment, another customer, a favorite of ours for his sarcastic quips, looks at the NCO and says, “Well, you said you wanted it to stop beeping.”
