First one, then the other.

My shift's replacement just quit. Starting tomorrow, from 1400 - 2000, I am the enterprise NOC during the portion of time we have no shift overlap. This coming week was supposed to be my right-seat-ride w/ my trainer/team lead.

LOL.

My first UCS implementation was supposed to be a shadow of someone experienced that had done many.

He didn't show up and I had to wing it alone fresh out of 4 days of online training.

No training can touch the experience of being baptized by fire like that.

That one was at a financial client. Yippee. At least there was a network gut there that did all the Nexus work.

My second, as I recall, was to deploy a "frankenblock" for a healthcare client in a Windstream data center in Raleigh. Anyone that does/did v-block(VCS) will understand.

My third was to deploy for Sherwin Williams Paint - 12 freakin network and server engineers in a room grilling me as I "showed" them how to deploy.

The fourth was at Kemet, an electronics manufacturer (capacitors) and an add on following a prior install that was kinda effed up and hard to integrate with.

I've deployed lots of "firsts," doing pre-flight whenever possible, but sometimes reading the redbook on the plane on the way out.

How is Scott doing? He hasn't responded to texts. I'm not going to bug him, just wondering if you knew if he was holding up okay.

The city has been doing construction on our street since December. They occasionally put signs out saying not to park on a certain side of the street, or both sides, while they work in the street. With a single lane driveway and my garage being used for remodeling, I parked a vehicle in my lawn so my wife could leave for work and I can follow the rules and stay off the street. SO WHY IN THE FUCK ARE THERE A BUNCH OF CONSTRUCTION WORKER VEHICLES PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE?! There is a church with an ALWAYS open parking lot a quarter of a block down the street. Fucking assholes.

Try living across the street from a funeral home. A couple times a week there are 50 cars bumper to bumper all the way down both sides of the street. Their drivers are all super considerate about not encroaching on your driveway entrance/egress too....super considerate.

Manners don't count when you're sad.
