[Tim D]

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Somehow, people didn't believe that I was pregnant. :o

A few pregnancies on facebook but thats about it!

At work our new boss sent an email to the whole dept stating that we all have been fired (made redundant) and had to re-apply for other jobs within the bank. Then came around personally to introduce himself and told us it was a joke. Great First impression :p

today i lost computer access in the office, my LAN account was blocked, and my security card causes the card reader to emit an obnoxious warning siren. damn i was the subject of a random april fools joke by one of the security guys in the office! (i was secretly hoping i didnt get any LAN access for the day so i didnt have to work lol.)\

or maybe the security guy has a secret crush on me? lol

[crazzymikey]

hmm nothing - it's one of those days that always seems to pass me by

[Light-Bearer]

I went to work and told everyone that Elton John had died in a plane crash over the Grand Canyon.

They believed me until 12 pm, when they finally had access to the internet

[barabin]

Nothing this year but last year when I woke up my flatmate at the time told me Sydney Harbour bridge had collapsed...

I was like ah k, I'll check it out in a sec. Prick.

Today’s vowel outage
Thursday, April 01, 2010 6:49 AM
Posted by Sam Schillace, Gmail Engineering Director

If you logged into Gmail over the last hour (or visited the Gmail homepage), you probably noticed that something looked a bit off: all the vowels are missing. We realize this makes things difficult for all of you who rely on Gmail — whether at home or at work — and we’re incredibly sorry. We take morphological issues like this extremely seriously, so we want to let you all know what happened and what we're doing about it.

At 6:01 am Pacific Time, during routine maintenance at one of our datacenters, the frontend web servers in that particular datacenter started failing to render the letter 'a' for a subset of users. As error rates escalated, the strain spread to other datacenters. We worked quickly to avoid a cascading failure of the entire alphabet by implementing a stopgap solution that limited the damage to the letters 'a,' 'e,' 'i,' 'o,' and 'u.' As a result, we're experiencing Gmail’s first temporary vowel outage. (We’re still investigating whether the letter 'y' is impacted and will post an update here shortly.)

Over the last hour we've received numerous reports of this issue via our help forums, from colleagues at Google, and via email you’ve sent us. Some of you have already found creative workarounds for communicating without vowels, like Aaron, who sent us this:

YouTube temporarily added a "TEXTp" resolution in addition to 360 and 480. Here's a sampls TEXTp resolution:

i went to a job interview on thursday,a "talent search" at VHA where they told us that the first group had taken all the jobs and we were welcome to stay and participate anyway.
so cruel

That should be a sackable offense! What was your boss thinking? Very poor judgment I say. S/he should know better.

Vowels gave Ancient Greeks an advantage.

i think you can file a complaint against them for that illegal act of advertising job openings that do not exist.

Thanks. i went for a few more security interviews. I'm only on provisional license and vision impaired so hard to get gigs. Just after some casual work. I couldn't work in any more call centers. It would push baby over the edge I fear! Pax.
