IT Help to the Rescue

DATA DOWN!! Probably the worst nightmare for any analyst, but not when you have the amazing IT Help Desk at hand, after initially not picking up the phone the following conversation took place:


ITHelp                           you rang ...
Mark                              hey
Mark                              yeah just to let you know we have no data
ITHelp                           that's nice
Mark                              lol.....not really
Mark                              might be useful to have
Mark                              well apparently it doesnt exist now
ITHelp                           some people want it all
Mark                              yeah, these analysts huh......who would think that they actually need ................data
ITHelp                           that's just what is wrong with society today
Mark                              haha
Mark                              do you know what happened to the table?
ITHelp                           black hole?
ITHelp                           whirl pool?
ITHelp                           gap in the space time continuum
ITHelp                           ok sorry, I will have a look
Mark                              LOL
ITHelp                           just getting my dry suit on now
Mark                              haha, cool, be careful.......those gaps in the space time continuum ................can be tricky
ITHelp                           it' ok I've got my light saber
Mark                              may the force be with you
ITHelp                           I think that the job that updates the data has gotten stuck
ITHelp                           I should have noticed it earlier but was too busy eating scones - my ................apologies
Mark                              what did you eat the scones with?........thanks for letting me know, do ................you know when it will be ready?
ITHelp                           strawberry jam
ITHelp                           home made too
ITHelp                           I am going to have to stop and restart the server in order to sort this ................out - this will kill everybodys eg projects that are running
ITHelp                           how does that sound?
Mark                              errmmmm great to me, dunno about them...but who cares

After kicking everyone of the server normality was restored, thanks once again to the IT Help Desk!
