Haven’t been to the office in close to 6 months and had to oversee some after-hours network maintenance this evening. It went well for once, and I was home by 11pm. Usually we exceed the maintenance window and have to roll back and try again.

    Always nice when things go smoothly! Is the maintenance window because you have servers hosted on site?

    My workplace was completely optional, only come in if you want to since 2020, until three weeks ago. Now it’s required two days a week. In the meantime, I don’t have a car anymore (haven’t needed one for a few years now), and it takes 90 minutes to get there on the bus.

        I have not needed to eat for three weeks. I am sustained by pure synergy now. I exist in the infinity of time and space and AI chatbots, perfectly connected by the ultimate quarterly objectives.

      Yep, we’re fortunate enough to still have on-prem servers (we’ve also got co-located and cloud assets as well). So those plus the IP phones and all the routing since we have a few satellite offices that routed through the main office. Breaking the field offices out of that was part of the changes were were doing.
