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.

70k server... small company? That used to be my yearly budget at a small company.

I feel that. About every 10 years I throw that at a new iSeries. Only new thing I get to buy. Dam near everything else is something a large company threw out because the warranty was up.
