Lady, I'd be happy to pet you!
When I saw the title of this thread, I thought of the Steppenwolf song "Born To Be Wild".
When I was very little my great-grandparents lived near the old Santa Fe Speedway ... Rrrrrrr! Rrrrrrr! They had auto racing at Sportsman's Park outside Chicago for a few summers in the early '00s - we could hear it from my mom and dad's yard ... Rrrrrr! Rrrrrr!
So - could I have a Sam Adams, please?
LOL.Quote:

DONE!
Hi everyone!!! **waves**
I don't know nuttin' about no car races. All I care about is sitting back on this big comfy couch and watching you all play with your toy cars. :D
I'll take a nice warm cup of tea please. I'm leaving here shortly to go "puppy cuddling". How cool is that?:cool:
Don't drink and cuddle. Alcohol makes you do stuff, like bringing home puppies!Quote:

The USPS is losing money. Got it.
HOWEVER...........
We're reworking our office, which include reworking quite a bit of the LAN architecture. We have a spare switch currently not in use. To move offices in accordance with their plans, we need more LAN access in one area.
My proposed solution..........take one of the site spares from the rack it is currently in, move it to the rack where we need more active ports, cable it appropriately, and problem is solved. Total cost=the labor required to do the cabling and moving the switch.
Management's solution:
Buy a new switch ($3500) and put it in the rack which needs more capability.
So.........
$3500 to buy a switch we don't need, but I can't get a $50 bench vise?
$800 for a welder, but we can't get another ratchet set for one of the mechanics?
Tell me again that it's labor's fault we're losing money.
In the meantime, dump a bottle of Baileys into a cup for me and put enough coffee in it to get it warm, please.
I realy want to make a joke here, but I dont wanna come off ass an AH again.
Oh what the heck.

Minor correction........then we'd only have two spares, not three, and the spare switches are less than a year old. I realize that's an eternity in tech terms, but the systems on the network are anywhere from 2-25 years old....I don't think they need the level of connectivity that a new system requires.Quote:

He should call the USPS and ask about buying some.... we still use 'em.
monoprice.com, BTW
Monoprice didnt have the 6-10' cables he needs. Bookmarked for future reference. Thanks for the url.
