So, I spent all day yesterday pulling servers from racks, opening them up, harvesting their hard drives, putting the servers back into the racks, and then sending the drives through the degausser to un-magnatize their platters, then sending the useless drives through the crusher for final dispensation.

It was repetitive, physical work with no music to sing along to, the drives were slightly dirty, and the servers were heavy

It was one of the best days of my 12+ years in IT.

@kelseyhusky Sorry I totally blanked on your job earlier! We talked about pretty much everything but. *hugs* I'm glad it's working out!
