Update: Our CAD license server crashed during a deadline rush

Just had the worst week. The license server decided to take a nap on Tuesday, and we all got locked out. Of course, management was 'aware' but had zero fixes ready. Now the whole team is panicking to hit the Friday cutoff. Sometimes I wonder if they think drawings magically appear.

Classic case of planning for sunshine, not rain.

How do you even start to fix that? I finally made a rule to check three different weather apps before any trip. Pack a raincoat even if the forecast says zero percent chance.

Yeah, the raincoat thing is the perfect way to put it. I mean with tech, you can't just hope the main server works. You gotta have the backup file server already set up and tested, or a couple offline licenses ready to go. It's like knowing a storm might hit and already having the generator in the garage. Otherwise you're just standing there getting soaked, yelling at the sky.

Guess management's backup plan was hoping for a tech miracle.
