Trying to do 3 DR's at once.
1 - Client that I told many times to buy a UPS for their server that has frequent power outages. They had good intentions but never got around to doing it. (They have one now!)
OK so you get them a UPS and restore their data, they lived, they learned.. bill and be happy.
2 - New client that thought they could do it on their own that shared out every drive on the server, every drive on each workstation and got hit by a crypto virus that encrypted virtually every file on every computer (inc Server) that they own
Fire this client right after you get them fixed up. They will never do things right (at least there is near zero chance they will be willing to hire you as needed, instead they will constantly try to save a buck. I suppose if your emergency rate is high enough, it might be worth keeping them, maybe?
3 - Client that 'moved' his server all by himself (without turning anything off first) - Still trying to figure out this one.
/sigh, not quite a firing client things.. but damn.

Going to a heavy, sludgy show tonight with a lovely lady. We might drive her pink '59 Galaxie 500, just to be extra cool.

Just spotted a SpiceWorld add on Google+ (yeah, I'm the only one still using it, I know.) What'd'ya'know @Minion-Queen and @art_of_shred are in the picture. Even more proof that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing over there?

We were in the totality zone, just 1km or so from dead center. It was absolutely awesome.
What sucked was the traffic going home.

Just working on fake tickets for training, waiting on state clearance for access to tools so I can actually work...not that I'm complaining about getting paid to wait, just boring.
