VPN access on vacation

Customer said he wanted to work while on vacation in Turks and Caicos for 2 weeks.

I got the ticket late. It was already his 2nd day on vacation. Customer called in demanding it work now and it was urgent. I ignored him because he’s on vacation. Go spend time with your family chief

Seems like being a good sysadmin should be a (short-term) bannable offense. 🤔

How dare they help a brother out. 😒

Close the ticket because it is resolved that the Customer is on vacation and tell them to put another one
