We've been told by our field tech in LA that One Wilshire had lost power

outage, but our equipment there is on DC and did not go down.


So - who in LA is going to be telling Santa they want a new data-center sized
diesel UPS genset for Christmas? ;)

More like, "which manager is telling Santa they want a new, clue-imbued employee for Christmas?"

I'm not too close to the story and I don't live in Los Angeles (I live and work 55-65 miles northeast of downtown), but it seems to me that the problem could have been avoided with a little more caution on the part of the person who cut the wires.
