When "you" are not busy, I'll get back to work, sir.

Last week I was given a project by a client. To move a folder across his servers. It seemed simple enough, and I seriously questioned "wtf? Why doesn't 'client' do it himself?"

Move 'backup' folder from server A to duplicate server B across town through a vpn. He wants the most common replica done every Saturday at 7pm with insanely detailed reports. I wish there was an automated way of doing this, but I don't know how.

I'm a bit new to all of this, so it took me a few tries untill I had a friend (who is only available on Saturday) help my last night. After 2 slow hours, we set up a network drive and enter in a command for the file transfer, and error: no space on Server B.

I called him up, and he tells me to then drop it on Server C. When I try to, I can't log in, and neither can he through Admin.

He then tells me "I can't give you access now, I have company over." and I can hear a sports game in the background.

It just kinda angered me. The one moment when I get the ball rollng, this guy always stops it with "I'm kinda busy with 'life' at the moment, please leave a message and I'll bitch at you later for not getting your job done."

Dear Internet customers in California;

No I am not shirking my duties as tech support by telling you you are in an outage. I know the modem lights and  wireless signals and various Gods tell you that you are connected to the interwebs but when you try there is nothing. That is why its called a CONNECTED NOT TRANSFERRING  outage. No sirs and ma'ams, you are not the only one there are around 75 thousand other people experiencing the exact same thing. Only thing I can do is tell you to keep an eye on it and wait until tomorrow.

No love from me.

PS;

Oh yeah, when you first phone and you get that lovely automated message saying there is an outage, believe the robot lady, accept the robot lady, she will not steer you wrong ok? Trust me it will save you the hour long wait to get ahold of us.
