Nobody will bother. They'll log a call, see that nothing happens
instantly, and never bother again.

I used to be quite proactive - trying to fix things before they broke,
etc. But now so much of our infrastructure isn't actually under my
control anyway, it seems every time something breaks all I can actually
do is call America and ask them to fix it. Which just makes it look like
I'm incapable of doing my job without help. (Well, maybe I wouldn't be
if they'd tell me how these systems actually work, and give me access to
look at them when things go wrong...)

I don't have the power to do that. Only the Network Administrator can.

I think basically everybody's lost interest. They're talking about
renting that space out to somebody else - but it'll be interesting to
see what they do with the bundles of stuff stored in there. ;-)
