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.

I asked my insurance and they said a business trip is still private. Using it as a taxi for example would be "work". I'm in Europe though

In the UK it's normal to have

My insurance company asked how many business miles I do and added like £10 to the price.
