Due to lack of payment of phone bills. This no struggling small business, mind you, this is an office of a huge, multi-national corporation. You may have seen our products on the popular TV show, CSI. And yes, the same incompetence that caused this has also caused other problems for us, including mangled paychecks :mad: .
Yet, this has to be the most relaxing crisis we’ve run into yet; no calls from customers!
::puts feet up onto desk::
I’m so glad I’ve already given my two-weeks notice (well, not really, but I will once the manager finally comes back in I will, but the notice’ll be less than two weeks by then).
Let me get this straight. You’ve got no calls coming in. You’re about to give notice, so you’re not worred at all about needing to get anything done.
Sounds like it’s going to be a good day.
Gimme a call, we’ll do lunch. 
Congratulations, there’s nothing as nice as being an agent when the phones go down. My condolences to your management, though.

Off to MPSIMS.
Eeh, they’re back on, now. That was a fun ten minutes.
I had a similar situation/opposite effect deal a few years ago.
I work for a rather large dot com company. At the time, I was working the customer service call center when the site went down. Nobody could get to the site…not locally, not outside our network, nowhere. The sucker was completely unavailable. Techs immediately pounced, trying to figure out the problem while we phone jocks got slammed with customers wanting to know why they couldn’t access our site.
After about a half hour, they solved it: the company had let the domain name registration lapse. :smack:
