I wasn't happy, when I saw Google's error message - and later learned that the "30 seconds" they suggested as a time to wait before trying again had passed over a hundred times since the service interruption had started.
On the other hand, this isn't the first time I've had service interrupted: although this is the first time it's happened to me at Google.
This situation reminded me of the quest for the Perfect Server: the server than never needs maintenance, never has down time, and provides perfect service, 24/7/365.
Perfection would be nice, but we won't find it around here. For the list-lovers out there, here's an excerpt from "The Big List of Perfect Things You Won't Find," a fictional book that doesn't exist.
You won't find the
- Perfect Car
- Perfect Server
- Perfect House
- Perfect Apartment
- Perfect Meal
- Perfect Man
- Perfect Lawn
- Perfect Garden
- Perfect Woman
