Re: Reminds me of a time...
On a similar note, it was my daughter's 10th birthday and the I'd taken the afternoon off, however some guy in sales had noticed that a network cable had come lose behind his computer and kindly plugged it back into the shared router under his desk.
Unfortunately, he didn't tell anyone at the time, also, the cable was supposed to go into the back of his PC, so what he did infinite looped the router which took the whole network down.
We ended up disconnecting everything from the main switch and plugging the cables back in one by one until we discovered the one connection that took everything down.
Needless to say, I was late for the party. :(
