Unscheduled Outage It's thunderstorm season and when the power goes out at one branch office, the uninterruptible power supplies kick in, everything gracefully shuts down, and the technician waits for power to return. And waits. And waits. "Late evening sees the power restored, and we go about bringing the network back to life," says the tech. Next morning, the phone rings. It's a very irate corporate administrator wanting to know why we had an unscheduled outage the day before. The tech calmly explain about the storm, which he had no control over. The Administrator's response? "Next time, put it on the schedule before you have an unexpected outage!"
