Like an old friend once said about me "When you f*ck up, you really f*ck up!"
I'm at my second job. It's a one day a week thing where I put in six hours monitoring a radio network. Under ideal conditions the one big event in my six hours is that I have to push a few buttons sometime before 9am that connects an ISDN line, putting a show on the air that comes from a different studio.
Guess what I forgot to do today?
I was slightly distracted, as the show called and informed me that I will have to likely start the commercials myself (which required me switching computers.) I remembered at 9a that I had not yet dialed the ISDN and ran in to dial it. Instead of the normal message I was given ISDN DOWN.
Not good.
I redialed, but to no avail. One more shot and it was for nothing... By this time the show was supposed to start... I was already dialing our engineer to say "WHAT DO I DO?" Of course, I get his voicemail. I try again, then call the guy who I am only to call if fire and brimstone are falling from the sky with a herd of monkees flinging radioactive poo. He tells me "Oh yeah... The we have no ISDN lines... I guess we should have told you."
Well, at least they are all telling me it's not my fault (when it really partially is.)
It's a sad day when at 9-something in the morning on a Saturday you're wishing you had a drink...
Oh, and I wasn't even able to get breakfast on the way in. Grrr....
