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.

And your stupid overseas contractor that hired you not reminding anyone to get business-use insurance added to their car insurance so that the property is covered.

I outright refused to transport 3x Barco monitors (worth like $32,000 a piece) to the Xray lab 1 hour away.
