Amy Armstrong works for a company that probably sells widgets or something, she isn’t sure and doesn’t care as long as she gets paid. Armstrong was delighted to see news that a worldwide IT outage had hit airlines, media outlets and banks, presuming that she would be unable to do any work.
Armstrong said 'At first I thought, woo hoo, 3 day weekend! Our IT systems fall over if you even look at them funny.'
However, she became concerned as time passed and no colleagues had got in touch to say that nothing was working. Armstrong then texted her friend Shelley Stevenson who works in IT: 'Are our IT systems actually working? Surely, you can’t be serious!’
Stevenson replied: ‘I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.'
