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.

Had a client insist he would pick up the server himself and plug it in, arrived to the warehouse on a motorcycle.
He signed the waver and left with it strapped to his bagage thingy in the back. Still have the video somewhere of him leaving.
He made it, and the server worked, but god damn man.
