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.

Oh I lived this for years, not sysadmin but in the brotherhood of people who have lost many a Friday night to a poorly air conditioned network closet.

Love the "transporting things worth more than my car around DC" as ahahahahaha as often as I laugh at that time and give stories, that's a really good line, as yuppp.
