When the cloud went down, everyone fell with it.
Monday – Outlook Implosion
Office 365 went down. Clients panicked.
Client: “Outlook says no.”
Another: “Where is my email. Did the cloud explode?”
James: “YES. THE CLOUD IS ON FIRE.”
Josh: “I didn’t know email could scream.”
Minh spun up temporary mailboxes and shrugged.
Tuesday – Teams Collapse
Teams failed. Clients lost their minds.
Client: “Our meeting is now a group text. In Excel.”
James: “STOP USING EXCEL AS CHAT.”
Drew: “I’ve seen things.”
Yusuf built a custom chat server with Python and hope.
Wednesday – OneDrive Ghosting
OneDrive stopped syncing.
Client: “Where are my files?”
James: “IN THE VOID.”
Minh restored local backups.
Josh tried to “manually sync” by emailing files to himself. Twice.
Thursday – MX Madness
Mail stopped routing.
Client: “I sent an email. It came back from 2017.”
James: “YOU SUMMONED A TIME LOOP.”
Yusuf rewrote MX records with his eyes closed.
Drew: *“I now dream in DNS.”
Friday – Gmail Jealousy
Frank: “Gmail never went down.”
James: “GET OUT.”
Minh closed the final ticket at 5:59 PM.
Josh stared at the sky and whispered: “Cloud’s watching.”
Epilogue – Cloud PTSD
They survived. Barely.
Yusuf drew a diagram called “Trust Issues: A Timeline.”
James added “Cloud” to his personal enemies list.
