We had a beautiful Monday - sunny and a high in the

Equipment Failure
As the sole systems engineer for a Midwestern storm
prediction center, this fellow has his hands full.
But when there's a problem at a remote site on a
college campus six miles away, he's the one who has
to make the 15-minute drive to see what's wrong.
"This site collects needed weather satellite data
and sends the data via private network to our main
facility," says the systems engineer.
"One day, the operations folks indicate they're no
longer getting the required data, and a quick check
indicates that the computers and network equipment
are not available on the far end."
So he hops in his car and drives over. When he gets
there, everything in the equipment closet is working
fine.
He calls the operations folks, and they say they're
getting data again -- it was apparently just a
momentary glitch.
So he returns to the office.
"About two hours later, it's the same thing," he says.
"I get to the remote facility, and everything is working.
I return to the office again, only to repeat the trip
two hours later."
After the third trip, he doesn't wait two hours; he goes
back to the remote site after an hour.
"As I approach the equipment room, I hear a radio turned
up very loud," says the engineer. "I walk in to find our
equipment rack unplugged, the UPS beeping and flashing
away, and a radio where our rack was plugged in -- and a
maintenance crew of about six working on some new air
conditioning ductwork."
He unplugs the radio and asks the maintenance crew foreman
if he had any idea what he had disconnected.
"No," says foreman.
"Why do you keep unplugging it every two hours?"
"We're a union shop," foreman tells him. "We take a break
every two hours."
"But didn't you think there was a problem when the rack
started beeping when you unplugged it?" the frustrated
engineer persists.
"Sure," shrugs foreman. "But turning up the radio helped."
