Rejoice! Or... maybe you're disappointed if you wanted to have delays at work. But either way, it seems like the Microsoft outage that caused such a headache for users around the world for nearly 24 hours is resolved for many folks on Friday morning.
So we'll all have the memories of that Thursday afternoon and evening in which we all collectively shrugged and waited for email and other tools to be fixed. And the result of that wait was so may good memes and jokes shared on social media.
Here's a roundup of the best we saw to celebrate the return of Microsoft products on Friday:

Rest now, brother, we have the watch. And I will see you in Valhalla.
Rumour has it that Microsoft engineers are still trying to identify the ‘traffic lights in the following images’ puzzle.
