They’ve Shut Down My Database…
July 17th, 2008
Well, they haven’t shut it down…there’s some system upgrade going on here at work so I can’t get into it for a bit. In my boredom I decided to put up a new poll because I’m coy like that.
Get your vote on here…

So you’re bored like I’ve been all week except for the poo incident
July 17th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Woo, finally a new poll!

As far as I can tell, the server has not yet spouted poo, no.

Well in addition to the spout there was spraying, and a boom as the pipe burst.
July 17th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Any idea as to why the pipe burst?
July 17th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
In fact I do. Someone saw that it was backing up, and instead of calling a plumber they decided that increasing the pressure would “Blow the plug.” And I’ll grant that it indeed did blow a plug(read as the side wall of the sewer line) that was over a foot long. Though I’m not sure as to what caused the secondarly burst. Which was much more chunky than the spray from the first boom.
I’ll trade this mess for the alarm fire from last month, or the time the power grid exploded. As each incident didn’t smell this bad, and we had pretty pink flames.

you may be able to get some flames with the poo but i doubt they will be pink in color.

That only works if there is enough flamable gases mixed in, and a ignition source.

Is this really a discussion we’re having, I mean, we already get the furry crowd, the racist video game players, and now we’ll get the poo fetishists…
July 17th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Yes, I think we need all the fetishists we can get. Though you do have to find the humor in exploding poo. My god man it went 40ft up in the air, and it is now stuck to the CEILING!! Granted, the smell is rather untastful but at least I don’t work in that part of the facility.

It’s official…I’m never setting foot in the shop again. Not with the danger of petrified feces falling down on my head from above.

It is okay to be in my work area just not the fab part, the mess area, or near the employee restrooms. So that only covers a third of the building.
