Let’s Save the Environment
This is a great letter a friend just sent me.
From: $user who for whatever reason came in on Monday when no one else was in the building.
To: IT Dept.
Re: A/C constantly running.Hi Guys,
I came in today (Monday) to finish up a project I was working on before our big meeting with a potential client tomorrow, and I noticed that there were three or four large air conditioners running the entire time I was here. Since it’s a three day weekend, no one is around, why do we need to have the A/C running 24/7? With all the power that all those big computers in that room use, I doubt it is really eco-friendly to run those big units at the same time. And all computers have cooling fans anyway, so why put the A/C for the building in that room? I got a keycard from facilities manager’s desk and shut off the A/C units. I’m sure you guys can deal with it being warm for an hour or two when you come in tomorrow morning. In the future, let’s try to be a little more conscientious of our energy usage. Thanks.

Fatalities: Exchange Server, Domain Controllers, a few Sun boxes that I’m not sure of the usage.
Near-Fatalities: Phone Switch, Apps Servers.
Temperature of server room 7AM Tuesday Morning: 90 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Status of Employee who sent the above e-mail: Terminated.
Silly mistake – bit rich to fire someone for making a mistake, though – even if it is a pretty silly one.
oh my! that’s so funny… and unfortunate for someone doing his part for the environment.
he wanted to do a good thing, but I think he should have asked someone before he did it.
If I had a room full of computers I wouldn’t turn off the a/c unless they’re shut down.
It’s bad that this happened while he was trying to do something good.
But surely if something is locked away you’d think about mentioning it the next day.
