Gratitude Post 16 - Co-workers

I "just" received a call from my friend and co-worker, Sara (who happens to be the mom of Erica's BFF, Kathleen), informing me of an issue with a File Server at work.

This is the File Server that only had 4 gigs of disk space left on it this afternoon.
E-mails were sent and steps taken to free up disk space in order to prevent an issue.

When I received the phone call, I envisioned the worst (crashed server) and called my support team (all two of them).

Fortunately, one of them lives 2 minutes from the plant, and he was able to get there quickly. For whatever reason, the server had powered itself down. Phil pushed the power button, and it booted right up. A quick resolution. But I know that if he had to, he would stay all night to get things going again. One of my engineers did just that last Friday night.

So tonight's crisis was averted.

I work with a great team - and I am grateful for it.
