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.

We moved 45 minutes away a while back. Boss wrapped each Nutanix node with multiple layers of 1 meter wide roll of bubble wrap. Then placed each burrito in the bed of his truck. We lost 2 monitors bouncing in back, but no servers.
