All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.
Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.
Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…

Excuse me, what now? I didn’t get that memo.
Yeah it’s great :-) 4 10hr shifts and every weekend is a 3 day weekend
Is the 4x10 really worth the extra day off? Tbh I’m not sure it would work very well for me… I find just one 10-hour day to be kinda draining, so doing that 4 times a week every week feels like it might just cancel out any benefits of the extra day off.
I am very used to it so I don’t find it draining. I tried 5x8 once and it felt more like working an extra day than getting more time in the afternoon. If that makes sense. I also start early around 7am, so I am only staying a little later than other people

Yep, anything done on Friday can enter the world on a Monday.
I don’t really have any plans most weekends, but I sure as shit don’t plan on spending it fixing Friday’s fuckups.
And honestly, anything that can be done Monday is probably better done on Tuesday. Why start off your week by screwing stuff up?
We have a team policy to never do externally facing updates on Fridays, and we generally avoid Mondays as well unless it’s urgent. Here’s roughly what each day is for:
If things go sideways, we come in on Thu to straighten it out, but that almost never happens.
Actually I was not even joking. I also work in IT and have exactly the same opinion. Friday is for easy stuff!
