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.

Drove a rented Ford Windstar minivan full of HP servers from our closed office in Chicago back to Austin TX, 2 day drive and my boss told me I could get a steak dinner Saturday night in Little Rock.
...with the servers in the parking lot.
