The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) V

Whew!

We experienced a catastrophic total failure of our DHCP and Printer server today....and there was not a properly setup secondary server for either instance.......

We just brought the DHCP services fully back online about 10 minutes ago... I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm running on no lunch.....

I print on a daily basis. I have to mail reports to owners and file forms with the TDLR (state agency that gives me my license). But it's directly to a networked color laser printer that will do pretty much anything I need except large format printing - no server needed

yeah... nothing like that at all

Thanks man!

Yeah, I'm getting ready to blow this taco stand and head home. I think a stiff drink is in order after a day like today.

It wasn't my responsibility. This stuff falls squarely on the shoulders of the Server Administrators, not the Network Analysts.

I dunno, I guess I just need to do other people's jobs too in order to make sure it's done right.

that's exactly how i feel when i have to take my car in to the dealer (or local shop) for work. i just can't trust anyone these days.

sure they do the work, but like my local shop said when i had them align my fit a while back using spc camber bolts.. 'oh, we just zip the nut with the impact and it's good to go.'

no it aint. i took my torque wrench and it wasn't nearly as tight as where it needed to be.

or dealer over filling engine oil...

Why? It's not terribly expensive (under $400) to have the job done this way and it should be a much better repair long-term vs. spraying a little clear on and blending it in with a buffer.

Of course I say that knowing another rock is going to hit the car as soon as I get it back.

blackcherry20

sigh. You fixed it though so GJ!!!!

sounds good!

hahaha, this reminds me of that gif ms.pint posted of that cat in a shark suit chasing a duck or something.

if your shop can color match, then it's good. if your car is metallic it's going to be that much more difficult.
