We lost power during a UPS test (the UPS didn't switch on) since about 8:30. Because network connectivity is handled via the VOIP phones, and the switches and routers don't have power, even if we could turn our machines on, we can't do any real work becase we can't connect to any of the servers (which are also affected by the power outage, btw).
Nobody has any idea what went wrong, or when we'll have power back, so... I sat down with my laptop tethered to my phone so I could at least browse the web instead of sitting at my desk, strokin' Captain One-Eye...

I assume that means the test failed?

It failed in the sense that it failed, but it was a success in the sense that it failed. Good test.

me thinks JSOP is on a military installation... where they test things like this monthly.
Worked on an airbase for 5 years. Time for the "power loss generator kick over" - generator came up, ran for 20 minutes and seized. It appears no one had been maintaining the units (in other words, doing their damn jobs). The base is mainly a maintenance facility now, but back then we had F15s and KC135s on alert for TAC and SAC. The base commander and the facility commander got some a$$ that day.

Sounds like the friggin' Chernobyl story. I'm glad you blokes aren't running a nuclear powerplant.

Is a buccaneer how much a pirate pays for corn?

Arrrrghuably, that is so. Also, if there's a bad harvest the farmers will cutlass and that could result in the price doubloon.

Why would a pirate pay when he can pillage?

There may be a kernel of truth in that...

In a boring job interview:
Useless HR drone: "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
Laconic answer: "Not here."
Silly answer: "Back home on Beta Reticuli. They will probably not want me as a Stormtrooper anymore, but I always can earn a little programming Eludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators."
Delusional answer: "Where do I find the office of your boss?"
Everything is better than seriously answering such questions. Any better ideas?

In mirror universes you are not going to be happy unless you grow a beard and are at least lawful evil.
