ugh

Waking up at 5:30 to your cell phone beep, beep, beeping as messages coming in is not how we sysadmins like to start our week.  Calling your hosting provider for the second time in less than a week to open a ticket saying routing is screwed up and nobody can get to your servers makes for a bad Monday.  Two hours of downtime even though it’s due to something out of my hands still reflects poorly on me as I’m that face of the hosting facility.  I’m tired and grumpy and ready to go home but I need to work on getting this tertiary dns server setup because the facilities bandwidth isn’t proving to be reliable.
