Anyone else with me? There appears to be a black cloud hovering over the Bay Area the past few days. Everyone I’ve talked to has said “Wow, what an _awful_ day I just had!” It’s even seeping into the phone lines and infecting all of the customers I’ve spoken to. Not to mention messing up their Internet connections. It’s been a “bad Internet week.” **zyzzyva** , **virtee** , I know we’ve discussed this and you’ll back me up… that is, if **virtee** isn’t busy deleting the Internet… 😉 (He did do this, by the way. Ok so I’m exaggerating. But still.) What should we do to blow off some steam? It might rain tomorrow, so I’m hoping for some good, quality puddle-jumping… ---

I’m on the other side of the country, but I’ll gladly cancel the rest of the week… I’ve gotten to the stage of my life where the majority of my friends are retired. I get to hear about their lives of leisure… _I WANT A LIFE OF LEISURE!!_ \ ---

I’d like to participate in the cancellation. Does anybody know a good exorcist? I think my toilet is possessed, and it’s spreading to the bathroom sink. ---

I am also in favor of cancelling the rest of the week. Not because I am having a bad day, but because I got on vacation next week. Woo hoo! I am off to Seattle to visit my fambly for the Fourth of July. There will be scuba diving and homemade ice cream and campfires and my dog’s ears just waiting to be kissed. Can’t wait. Really, will anyone miss June 27, 28 & 29? I think not. ---

Go ahead get rid of it. How about next week too? And while your at it you may as well cancel everything for me until the end of July. I hate working. I’ve got a 1 month vacation (not paid) that I’ll just get to lie around the house and not do a single thing. Yeah it’d be nice if that hurried up and got here. ---

This is EXACTLY what I need, and count on the wonderful Rasa to deliver just when I need it. I’m not in the Bay Area, though. I guess the Black Cloud of Crappiness is bigger than you thought. ---

Got your back on this one, Rasa! It pretty much sucks. By the way, I did _not_ delete the Internet…it was an undocumented bug. ---

Wow **slackergirl** , **zyzz** had similar problems. The Black Cloud must have plumbing-destructo rays! It best stay away from our house. The rain was a Good Thing. It WAS! And **Beadalin**? With all due respect, 😛 to you for having a vacation coming up! ---

Don’t listen to **virtee** folks… he did so delete the internet! Well ok, he deleted the site admin user, which effectively deleted the internet. For one customer. Same thing! ---

If it makes you all feel better, last week was a new nadir in crappiness for me. Maybe the cloud has just been working its way west this whole time?
