Rant: My entire sales demo crashed because of a squirrel in Austin

A squirrel chewed through a fiber line near our office, so my 30 minute pitch to a Fortune 500 client turned into 30 minutes of me apologizing for my frozen face on Zoom. Anyone else have a deal almost die because of wildlife?

Calling it dramatic misses how real the risk is. A broken demo can make a client question your whole company's reliability. That's a real business problem, not just a tech hiccup.

Fortune 500 deal" dying over a squirrel seems a bit dramatic.
