A lumberjack cuts wood for the winter. An Indian passes by and the lumberjack asks him:
- Will winter be cold?
- Yes, HUGH! very cold winter.
So the lumberjack starts chopping more wood. The next day, the Indian passes by again and the lumberjack asks him if winter will really be as cold as they say. The Indian replies:
- Yes, HUGH! Very harsh winter...
Then the woodcutter takes up his saw and cuts a mountain of wood. The next day, the Indian passes by again, saying:
- Very, very harsh winter.
The lumberjack, intrigued, asks him:
- But anyway, tell me how you guess that winter will be very cold?
- At home, we have a saying: When the white man cuts wood, it means cold winter.
- Will winter be cold?
- Yes, HUGH! very cold winter.

I accidentally rebooted the network switch for the entire third floor.
Internet disappeared.
Phones dropped.
About 70 employees immediately stood up from their desks like prairie dogs.
I had two choices:
Admit I clicked the wrong switch.
Become proactive.
I sent this message:
"Unannounced infrastructure resilience exercise currently in progress. Please continue normal operations."
Then I waited five minutes and turned everything back on.
Service restored.
No data loss.
Nobody died.
The CTO replied:
"Love that we're testing this stuff proactively."
So I wrote a post-exercise report.
Objective: Validate employee response to unexpected connectivity loss.
Result: Successful.
Finding: Employees become extremely loud after approximately 12 seconds without internet.
Recommendation: Continue resilience testing quarterly.
My mistake now has a budget.
