Yup I'm working and just had a 400GB RAID 5 array have a 2 disk failure
Nice. Hurrah for non-standard RAID sets (DP in this case).
Still, at least it's only 400GB.

Spot the new member of the management team
Ahem, senior management team if you don't mind
Lots of people work on the 24th, heck even banks are open and they're the laziest ****ers when it comes to taking time off! It's going to be a fairly long day (was in at 5am as usual), but hopefully finish early (7ish).

I've since found out that one of the disks failed earlier in the week, so I've had a mighty go at the person
who didn't do anything about it... Hey ho..

yep I know this - just finished work myself - but senior management are usually conspicuous by their absence over the Christmas hols... I give you 2 years, then you'll be booking 20 December til the 10th Jan off as a perk while telling all your staff that it's 'just another day'

Yes but just finished (and got home!
)No, dinner at the parents tomorrow and I am driving. Dinner at the in-laws on boxing day and I'll have a sherry or two.
Just finishing off for the day.
On call day shift (07:00 - 21:00) tomorrow and Boxing Day though only on emergency, so shouldn't be any trouble unless there's a riot at one of our "hotels" or something that our duty office can't deal with. Back to normal on Thursday.

I worked Christmas Eve for the last 3 years and enjoyed it. Our department was great for getting in food and drinks for special occasions, and it was always just a really relaxed day. I don't do anything important on Christmas Eve until mass anyway.

Another one with a failed disk.....
