It's always your week.
Outages at 02:13, go-lives on Saturdays, escalation chains that end at voicemail. Shirts that look pressed at the post-mortem.
What to wear while you fix it.
Everything below was built for exactly this moment. The team will be in a meeting about it. You won't.
BB-03 Neu The Go-Live
Wear it when the go-live is Saturday and the rollback plan is a Post-it.
HB-04 Calving at 3 A.M.
Wear it when the cow decides it's tonight and the neighbour promised to keep an eye on the barn camera.
UR-03 The Zip Tie Nobody Cut
Wear it when the new rack has been strapped to its pallet since Tuesday, and nobody owns the zip ties.
BB-12 Neu The Phishing Test
Wear it when IT security sends a test email offering a "free Znüni voucher."
UR-22 The Night Shift
Wear it when line 2 stops at 23:40 and the service contract says "48 working hours."
BB-02 Pikett Week
Wear it when it's your on-call week. It's always your on-call week.
UR-34 The Cable Tray
Wear it when 80 metres of fibre need to go through the ceiling and procurement wants three quotes.
BB-05 The Data Migration
Wear it when 2.4 million customer records move to the new system this weekend, and Beat made the mapping file.
BB-09 Change Freeze
Wear it when the change freeze starts on the 20th of December and Urs has a "tiny fix."
Nothing from this line for this one. Somebody else's department.
Which means it's yours anyway. Clear the filter.
For the group chat. Reto is in it.
Screenshot, send, say nothing. He'll work it out eventually. Probably in a meeting.
@chrampfe Pikett week, day 7. I am the escalation chain.
Pikett: On-call duty. Somehow it's always your week.
@chrampfe "Let's take this offline." Translation: you'll do it tonight.
