Last time I worked in the fishbowl, I waited until the Senior Manager
was showing us off to the VIPs, and then I brought up all the day's
critical error messages in the IT/O (some of you know it as Opcenter)
history at once, so it looked like a screen full of red Criticals popped
up all at once.
Then I looked at the screen, shrugged my shoulders, and walked off out
of sight. He thought I was leaving the room; I was actually standing off
where they couldn't see me, but I could still see the screen in case
real errors popped up. :-)
After that, he started calling us and warning us before the curtain would
be opened.
