Happened to me 4th of July weekend. I scheduled Friday off and on Thursday PEPCO decided that they were going to shut off power to my primary building Friday night into Saturday morning. I run a 24x7 operation. When the people that I support got word of this they wanted my crew running both here and at my "Hot Site". We are short staffed as it is and I supposed to be enjoying a long weekend. I was fortunate enough to not have to cancel my plans but I was jumping through my ass on Friday and Saturday on my blackberry to make sure that I had coverage and everything was going smoothly instead of enjoying those days at the beach.
