I hate outages. On servers. At websites. They are just really annoying because obviously you use certain sites because you want to, or because you have something to "do" there.
It really disrupts the "workflow," so to speak.
And so, this Cloudflare outage is really getting on my nerves because it is impacting several sites I use and thus, I cannot use them.
Granted, I can always find other things to do. That's true. But "in the moment," the thing you want to do is what's topmost on your mind, and when you can't, it just makes you want to scream.
It is what it is. I can't control what Cloudflare does or what happens to it. All I can do is write about my frustrations.
To no avail, of course.

I can understand your frustration and it makes me crazy when I want to do something and the internet isn't working properly. When I turn on my computer I expect it to work

I thought a few minutes ago my internet was the problem but opening myLot is smooth.

I’ve never heard of Cloudflare. But I get frustrated when sites don’t work properly or don’t load altogether.

I get annoyed when my bank is doing maintenance and I want to pay bills; so I can understand your frustration.

I didn't realize there was an outage. None of the sites I use were affected.
myLot annoys me when I can't open it, especially from midnight to around 1:30 am when I just wake up from my evening nap. I think the site is doing an automatic update or something. When it does let me in, the site is slow and seems buggy.

I have fondly named my desktop PC Hank. Hank and I seem to have come to an understanding and he rarely scares me, One time he just stopped working and the screen went black, My anxiety ratcheted but then I turned him bakc on and everthing fell into place,

I noticed the Cloudflare outage this morning, and was wondering if it would be an all day thing. But a couple of hours later it seemed to be working fine.

Cloudflare has the court website here messed up too.
