I get a call from a client with fax/cc line issues. After basic troubleshooting I try to call the provider. I can’t even reach the provider as they are having telephone issues. I email a sales rep that I deal with and he confirms it is a large outage that is being worked on and should be resolved within the hour.

13:40: All done. I go back out to the waiting room and see some emails from a client and jump into support mode attempting to resolve that issue.
