I scrambled out of bed this morning in a panic, thinking, "JESUS CHRIST WHAT DAY IS IT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE AIRPORT?!" I have the feeling this is going to be happening to me a lot over the next three months.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't know you had to tell HR. I wouldn't dream of telling anyone before my boss, no matter if I hated them or not, though.

I have only ever told my boss, who told our department administrator, who told HR/Payroll.

I would tell boss first, unless it really was an uncordial relationship. Thank goodness I've never had that situation, though. Ugh. But since HR is a friend, you could, er, theoretically ask HR if it was proper to tell boss first.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Screw it. Everyone gets told on Monday. Thanks for the feedback.

So today we have electricity, but we lost our server about 9:30. No one seems to know the issue. Everything is getting power.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that maybe it got, I dunno, fried by power surges and crashes??!

Plus, didn't your a/c go out yesterday? An overheated server is a bad thing.

Oh yeah, that is my guess too, but why work for 4 hpurs this morning? Anyway about it IT needs to get out here and get it replaced.

Pretty common, actually. In the months after the UPS caught fire and we lost power, there was a fairly steady trickle of failures in systems. Things get physically stressed, a little corruption here and there, eventually it snowballs.
The Two-Mistake Rule is uttered a lot here (turning it off you your first mistake. Turning it back on is the second.)
