043am on a Sunday
It’s Sunday where you are. Here’s what happens here.
Your checkout stops taking orders.
Monitoring checks every minute, so it notices. The on-call phone rings. A call, not a notification, and it keeps ringing.
Nobody picked up? A second phone rings, the backup’s.
A person is on it, and talking to you.
Fixed, or safely worked around. Hourly updates until it is. A written report within 24 hours.
Your message about a headline, sent just after midnight, gets a reply within 1 hour. Then the headline gets changed. On Sunday.
