IT Temp Diaries #12

This morning I was showing him a manual process we have to do on a piece of legacy equipment. It had downloaded some Windows updates and was asking for a reboot. I was going to schedule a midnight reboot, so I told him to click the "Restart Later" button. He starts moving the mouse toward the "Restart Now" button. I kept saying "No, NO! LATER LATER!!!" and he kept right on going to the Now button. I was so stunned I didn't think to physically restrain him from clicking.

He clicked.

BAM! Production server rebooted while people are working in it.

ARRGGHHH!!!
