Life Of A SysAdmin

I just got home from work at 3AM after hopefully saving the servers from themselves. The AC unit has quit again, and the server room got up to just under 120 degrees F before I realized what was up thanks to E-mail and SMS messages not being sent (I will be looking into that Sunday afternoon or Monday morning). I have spent most of the day catching up on MS updates on 1/3 the servers, with a short break to install shelving and a longer break to rearrange the bedroom. Server admin is taxing, but I love working with the servers and the 2AM drives to work to set up box fans in the server room are down to once a year.

Regarding the room reworking.... Reba wants to move Summer into her own room, which means moving my half of the office room into a corner of the master bedroom. I'm keeping the Linux gaming server and the primary desktop I built early last year, but almost everything else needs to go for lack of space. On the up side, I can play Minecraft in bed now.

Summer is growing like a weed and getting cuter every day! Speaking of, she just woke up, so I will write more some other time.
