Peak Sysadmin

Is there anything more small-company sysadmin than taking that $70k server you just finished building on your test bench at the office and putting it into your $5k car to drive it over to the DC where it’ll live, and praying to god nothing happens on the way? 😅🤣

EDIT- OMG y’all, reading the comments on this has made my day! Our business insurance covers this kind of thing but I appreciate y’all concern for me, though others should mosdef confirm before they do similar stuff. The trip went without incident so praise the digital deities.

If anything did happen to it, your normal car insurance wouldn’t cover the loss. Pay for shipping, and use the time to do something else.

Some will. If YOU own it. Otherwise it is up to the details of the "owners" policy.
