So my company in their infinite wisdom let 4 of the 5 IT server techs take the week off. So of course that means nothing but server issues and all of management is off as well. A car that looks how I feel right now for your time.

Shut the servers down. Sounds catastrophic (I know nothing of IT, except you guys ar e like wizards/witches and underpaid ) . Just f ix it next week. Call in sick until next Wednesday.

I drove a Chevy celebrity on a few occasions. Super terrible car to drive. It was in really good shape but the car had poor brakes, suspension, engine, tranny, interior... just everything was bad. But it was  reliable and they had it for about 6 years I think before it was totalled (no injuries).

Dad had a C elebrity Eurosport. It rode well and vacationed good. I was forever in the backseat as a kid. Honestly, I must say the reports of it being horrible are missing the metric of Dodges Aspen slant-6, which dad drove before the Celebrity. That was attempted murder styled in shit green metallic. The Celebrity was not just orders of magnitude better, it happened to be the best selling sedan of the time.

The rod bolts in that 2.8 let go at 93k miles, just like the Fiero had . Dad got a deep discounted l ongblock , then it  was rear ended by a truck at 115k. The 6x9 speakers in it rocked.

Just out of curiosity, how many people work for you company that you have 5 “server technicians”.

I’m asking because I’m in an IT role at a company that has more than doubled in size since I started, we used to have two people now it’s just me and a bunch of good vendors.

My brothers first car was a Chevy Celebrity. Once I was sitting in the back seat and he slammed on the brakes for a cat. The seatbelt didn’t catch and I ended up squashed between the seats. That was the day I learned the importance of functioning seatbelts. That was also the first car I ever felt get sideways from liftoff over steer  on dirt. It was amazing.

I still wake up sometimes with a cold sweat, imagining a pager duty ring...

That's what 3 years of on call duty does to you
