When I was in school one of our teachers told the tale of the "new hire that hit the BIG red button in a data center..." yeah ours is marked Armageddon ONLY lol

Servers stayed up on 20kva ups.

Understand this tho: our most important servers are in Kansas. We access them via Citrix.

Just imagine...you're in surgery..you've got your hand on someone's heart...and the freakin power goes out FOR TWO HOURS!!

All my network closets dumped their power, our redundant core routers..gone, our redundant wan routers that support our data circuits back to our corporate offices....gone, all phone service (inbound and out)...gone, all wireless access points for communication...gone!

Anyways, once the power was restored we got everything chugging along with no hardware failures!! That's 22 network closets and nearly 200 wireless access points..all good to go!

So..in short...I'm back!

I had to live through 9 hours of 100% of the network down. That really sucked! In case of a power outage our back up generators will power all OR rooms, ER and the critical areas. The sh!tty part for us is a brand of our monitors need a hard reset and we have to go floor by floor trying to find them all.

Welcome back OBTW!

We pay $75 per month, regardless of whether its winter or summer. So..during the winter they come once a month, but weekly durning the summer. It all works out.

I remember one particularly hot summer's day I spent an hour tending to the front yard (the back takes equally as long), then came inside to tell my wife that was it for me. I said I'd rather chew my arm off than mow the yard again.

Haha! It was so stinkin' hot and humid today that I had to take a shower after I mowed... which was before I ran.

Heck yeah. Our last guy was $75 a month...He was great but for half the price I could hire a another person's company that has been very good about showing up on time and cutting the crap when I want it lol Do they have the occasional brain dead person, yeah, but they dont last too long lol.

Does anyone know what would cause a heavy vibration when breaking? The 350 had new rotor and pads put on a free months ago and this issue has been present since. The hubby doesn't get things done so I'm taking it upon myself to get it fixed.
