If the phone rings before I'm off-shift I think I'm just going to scream "Have you no respect for the DEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAD?!?!" and hang up.
Update:
First customer issue has been definitively proven to be a network issue that they have to fix, and not our fault.
I managed to get the Big Important Customer on the meeting with Development, and the issue was resolved after multiple hours - but it IS resolved.
The third customer conference call.... was not great, but at least our response of "we need more information to help" was acceptable. It helps that the customer royally fucked up internally when collecting the info we asked for.
Guess who fucked up last night and didn't invite the (already frustrated) Big Important Customer to the troubleshooting meeting with Dev today?
At least that's only one out of three big important customer conference calls that I fucked up on? One is already successful at least. The third won't be great. :/
"Does it matter to you?" the dragon asked.
"Not at all," the princess said, "but it matters to him."
"If this prince thinks he can only prove his worth and manhood by fighting a dragon, he needs education, not my indulgence."
"Please!"
"Find another."
"Another dragon?"
"Prince."

"A newly discovered form of malware delivered to victims via adverts in search results is being used as a gateway to stealing passwords, installing cryptocurrency miners and delivering additional trojan malware.
Detailed by cybersecurity company Bitdefender, the malware – which targets Windows – has been dubbed MosaicLoader and has infected victims around the world as those behind it attempt to compromise as many systems as possible.
MosaicLoader can be used to download a variety of threats onto compromised machines, including Glupteba, a type of malware that creates a backdoor onto infected systems, which can then be used to steal sensitive information, including usernames and passwords, as well as financial information.
Unlike many forms of malware, which get distributed via phishing attacks or unpatched software vulnerabilities, MosaicLoader is delivered to victims via advertising."

consequences of link rot, Vice link (mentions of and adjacet to pornography but not actually porn, explicit language)
"As pointed out by Twitter user @dox_gay, hardcore porn is now embedded on the pages of the Huffington Post, New York magazine, The Washington Post, and a host of other websites. This is because a porn site called 5 Star Porn HD bought the domain for Vidme, a brief YouTube competitor founded in 2014 and shuttered in 2017. Its Twitter account is still up, but the domain lapsed.
Seemingly any vid.me embeds now redirect to the 5 Star Porn HD homepage. The site vid.me also redirects there. For example, if you check out this New York magazine article about former House Majority leader John Boehner's "creepy kissy face," you will see photos of Boehner but also images of a man with a gigantic penis fucking a woman.
Archived versions of this page show that there was formerly a vid.me embed on the page; the page's source code shows the same."
So, uh. Heads-up on that one, I guess.
