UPS, up and away

If you are thinking: ‘We love the UPS stories in Backbytes, there just aren’t enough of them’, then we concur with our regular correspondent Alistair Maclean, who recommends the eyebrow-raising stories of IT incompetence at thedailywtf.com.
It is not all UPSs of course: your colleagues, bosses and subordinates seem to be a able to make a life- or career-threatening scenario out of most possible IT functions. On the other hand, last week produced a juicy bunch of UPS anecdotes.
We quote from just one of them: ‘… but she forgot to tell the guys in the control room it was a test! I have NEVER seen three men move so fast. By the time she said: “we’re testing”, two helicopters were in the air and two fire departments had been notified.’
