    I suddenly had this image of a catholic priest blessing the servers with holy water.

    You would be able to figure out which ones were tainted by Hell due to them releasing smoke when in contact with the holy water.

      I saw that picture! Only it was an east European Orthodox priest, I believe, but yeah, he was spraying holy water of sorts on servers

    Nope. Vacation is vacation and if something goes tits up… well, it’s my colleagues problem.

      This but unironically. They reviewed my code, and I explained my open tickets to colleagues and handed it over to them before taking time off. I can’t be needed right now when I’m off

        Oh, it was absolutely meant unionically on my part. We had a conversation last week about how some people even take their notebook with them on vacation. Colleague said he’d kick me if I ever got that idea.
        Glad I’m at such a place.

        I’m a network admin though and don’t have many special things going on most of the time. So any handovers are white short usually.

      I assumed they are praying for something to go wrong while they are on vacation and it’s someone elses problem…

          but also they actually don’t – especially for an internal system. How many of your colleagues are going to say “I couldn’t work over the weekend because the XYZ wasn’t up!”

          Only the real sickos, and they should be ignored not celebrated.

          Client-facing system, yeah I guess it’s bad, but then I question what the customers are doing on their weekends

            Plenty of reasonable online services that end-users will want to use on weekends, like online shopping, entertainment like streaming. Also payment services for businesses
