I remember working for an insurance company onceThe new Operations Manager was really big on being informed of when things may be going wrong, and so set up the mainframe computer to page him on a pager every time there was a system message generated.
The first night after setting this up he went to bed, presumably with the pager on his bedside table...
Anyway at 4 am the loud beeping of the pager woke him up in a panic. "What could have happened?" he thought.
Anyway he quickly got dressed, drove the 30 miles or so to the office, unlocked all the doors, deactivated the alarms and made his way to the Ops room. There he switched on the terminal to see what was wrong with the mainframe, only to be confronted by the system message that had been generated:-
"Backup completed successfully".
