I spoke too soon

My co-workers kept telling me to be quiet, and I suppose that I should have listened a little more carefully. I posted my first alert (in a series of a few!) last week - I think it was last Monday if memory serves me correctly. I should have known! I hexed the situation and myself. Comparatively speaking, though, I will argue that the outages we experienced last week didn't even come close to what we've experienced during previous semester, not to mention that the first one I posted was a couple of weeks into the semester. So, I still contend that something is different, per my previous post. Again, I invite your thoughts about why this may be.
