On the other hand, every time BT have a service outage, I get an email from the monitoring software to say it's lost contact with each branch's router. Then another set when it all comes back up again.
Power outages are worse, as the UPS will email three times to say "Help, I've lost mains power", "Help, I'm now running out of battery power" and "I'm dyyyying heeeeelp meeeeeeee.....". Once the power comes back up they'll email with "OH HI, no, I'm fine thanks. Mains power came back. Thanks for your concern, wanker. No, don't bother to apologise. Twat."
We have rather dramatic hardware.

He included some interested error messages like "Hands off", "Sorry, I've died" and "No, you've done that wrong."
He left five years ago and, as yet, nobody has been bothered enough to change them.

Somebody found out where it was and, for a while, te printers would post messages musing about philosophy and life in general. They all mysteriously stopped doing so when my colleague Dave left.
