Hey fellow k12sysadmins,

I’m currently going through a network outage nightmare, and I thought it would be both entertaining and therapeutic to hear your own horror stories. We all know that when it comes to network issues, the struggle is real, and sometimes you just have to laugh to keep from crying. Whether it’s a major outage during an important exam, a bizarre series of events leading to chaos, or an “unplanned downtime” that left everyone scratching their heads, I’m sure we all have tales to tell. Let’s take a moment to bond over our shared experiences and maybe even find some comfort in knowing we’re not alone. Here are a few questions to get the ball rolling: 1. What was the most outrageous network outage you’ve ever encountered in an educational setting? 2. How did the network outage impact students, teachers, and staff? Any funny or memorable reactions? 3. Did you uncover any unexpected causes or discover some unbelievable solutions? 4. How did you handle the pressure and keep your cool during these incidents? 5. Looking back, what lessons did you learn from these network outages?

Looking forward to reading your stories and finding some humor in the chaos! Let’s turn these network outages into tales worth telling
