Friday early finish? Yes please!
Right now, the world is in chaos after a huge global Microsoft outage has shut down banks, airlines, supermarkets, and news organizations, leaving millions of people unable to work.
The crash, thought to be a result of a faulty update for CrowdStrike software, has canceled 1,400 flights, shut down news channels, stopped GP surgeries, and struck office workers with the infamous blue screen of death.
So naturally, with people unable to work, everyone’s been in chaos and making 10/10 memes on Twitter. Friday early finish anyone?
So, you might not be able to do any work, but you can laugh at these 21 chaotic Microsoft outage memes:

Microsoft outage but Teams and Outlook are both fine is the adult version of snow that doesn’t settle enough for a school closure.

May as well while you’re at it x
Whoever’s responsible for the Microsoft outage is getting fired anyway, so the smart thing to do would be to knock Teams out for the day too and leave a hero.
