I had been looking forward to taking a very much needed three day weekend vacation for the first time in about two years. The company that I work for as a computer technician finally took the advice I had been giving them for the last two years and bought some new used poweredge servers. I knew that the ones I constantly had to fix were too small and old to keep up with the office but they always would just have me put a band aid of work into them, just to get them up and running.

I had pictures of used servers and the prices emailed to the big guys upstairs who would be the first ones to complain when the old servers would go down. I repeatedly did the emails right after we would go offline for a day, in hopes that they would just buy the used poweredge servers one day.

I think that all the stars must have been aligned the day that they gave me the okay to go ahead with the purchase of two much bigger used servers that would be able to handle the growing office and all the work they were expected to do. I knew that my weekends would not be spent fixing the old servers anymore.
