I got in to work today and was greeted by the following when trying to open my Gmail:

I’ve seen it before, not often though, and rarely for more than a minute or so. Today it’s been at least 30 minutes so far. I guess this is a good lead in to a post I’m going to do shortly about how to backup your Gmail account using Thunderbird. Looking at my backup, the last message was received a little over an hour ago. I sure hope I don’t need to test my Gmail restore procedure today!
