the overnight maintenance windows are starting to suck. I didnt know id get
old this fast where staying up past 2 am sober means im asleep til at least
10 am. ive moved a lot of that to saturday mornings instead of overnight
where feasible. We rarely send out a long term prior notification unless we
will see an extended outage. Notifications trigger the "ever since X
nothings worked" calls too, one of the downsides.  you check the graphs,
theyve been down since a week before. then you troubleshoot and they have
everything plugged in backwards, but of course they didnt mess with it,
thats how our techs installed it.
the phone message weve changed for years, I like that because you get the
caller ID log, but no direct interaction with the customer since most hang
up once they hear the message. It gives you a targeted list of impacted
accounts to verify.

love or hate facebook, it generates revenue. since we went live, probably
10 percent of new customers are generated from it. I dont understand people
who hate something so much they wont take the money or garner higher
customer satisfaction levels.
