I cannot log into my work computer because of this. Other coworkers are earnestly rebooting over and over and trying to log in every 30 minutes and sending me panicked emails asking me to tell our boss that they're having trouble logging in ~for some reason~ (our boss also can't log in, if I get him a message he won't see it) and it's like... have you considered that this is just a surprise holiday? In commemoration of bad IT practices?
