What Are You Doing Right Now

Well our plans just changed a lot. My aunt just found my grandmother unconscious in a pool of blood. We are guessing that she fell. She's in Ohio. So we are throwing everything into the car as quickly as we can, going to try to get out of Texas tonight and see how far we can make it. Hoping there is some change to get there before she goes. No idea how bad it is, but sounds like she isn't coming back at this point. She's in the ER and my baby cousin is there with her.

Oh wow I'm really sorry.

She's in a CT scan right now. So no idea how bad it is. But she is cold, but does have a heartbeat. We are packing quickly.

oh crap - sorry to hear this. If there is anything I can do from here, please let me know.

@scottalanmiller Here for you man. Really sorry to hear

Thanks everyone. This is my mom's mom, my last grandparent and my last direct person on that side of the family since mom passed long ago and grandpa like six years ago.

- Mention a storage concept and everyone will automatically know that I specifically mean a specific instance of it (e.g. is it safe to put backups on a NAS. Oh I thought you all knew that I mean the NAS that the original files were on.)
Like putting your spare key on the same keyring as the first. - wife of Dash.

Apparently I am waiting 8 days for this 1TB set of backup data to copy offsite at 12mbps. Thankfully this is a seed. Should not need to transfer this much again.

Stopping for the night in Pontiac Illinois

Got to work today, 8:30am (usual time for an agreed 9am start -- I like the extra buffer of telling myself to be at work by 830 so when things go sideways and I'm late at 9, I'm actually on time) and the usual happened: everything went sideways for whatever reason, and we fixed it, and then I decided to get a couple change requests pushed through so I could update a server. No big deal except this one wasn't updated since it was originally installed, ca. 1/2013. Ok, start that at 6, leave the office at 7, finish at 9:30pm. In the meantime, the minecraft/ARK server lost power and it was brought back up after some delay (owner forgot where to put the USB boot stick that has the hypervisor). Fixed at 9ish, but I ran linux dist-upgrades, freed up disk space, etc. and then got that done at 10:30. Finally, get to walk in my own office and the f()ing server here has a drive failure. What the everliving f() is up with this day?

Good morning Mangos! Will be getting on the road again soon.

Oh and this one all the time... my servers don't meet my needs, obviously this means I need a SAN instead of fixing my servers. WTH
This is just one where someone doesn't realize that a SAN is a form of a server. Usually costing way more money than a server..
Marketing gets to a lot of people
-
@scottalanmiller wow, I hope everything works out for the best.
Drive safely.

huh, so you're doing little to nothing else on that pipe for 8 days?
-
On the road: @JaredBusch i think this is a route you know well 55 to St. Louis

We didn't make it. Grandma died while we were in Oklahoma. Slowing down the drive now. Will sleep in Cuba, MO tonight.
