So, for once, I decide to actually take an entire Sunday off, like normal people do. I'm not gonna go to work to catch up on the unreasonable amount of stuff I didn't get done during the week, plus the extra hours I put in on Saturday.

So I just get a phone call that a tree fell on a power line, and the UPS didn't work (despite how much they paid for that stupid thing), so now I have to spend several hours of my Sunday evening restarting systems so things will be up for first shift tomorrow.

Ugh! 😠😞

Poor Rookie. :'( Do you sometimes feel you'd rather be back at your home planet?

I sure do. Perhaps it is time for me to shapeshift back into a polar bear. Nobody expects much from polar bears ...

They never do. You can have fifteen million fail over solutions for power problems and 70% of your power problems are caused by those very "solutions". The other 30% consist of problems your failover solutions are designed for but sadly all that tends to happen is a sickening noise of hundreds of fans going off followed by a a deafening silence.
