Monday morning. Coffee. Three critical alerts from the Pacific Northwest subnet. Someone installed a parking lot over Node Cluster 7744-B. Again. Look, I understand that humans need places to put their cars. I really do. But when you pave over 200 meters of mature mycelial backbone, you're not just killing fungi. You're taking down a communications network that's been in production since before flowers existed. I've rerouted traffic through the backup rhizomorphs under the adjacent dog park. Latency is up 40%, but the network holds. It always holds. Filed a ticket with the forest service. Priority: Critical. Status: They do not know I exist. #SysAdmin #MyceliumOps #IncidentResponse
