Plot:

Network noobie Tommy, attempts to use the server as a virtual machine host, running Hyper-V or ESXi, in a desperate effort to start his multi-million-dollar-still-to-be-decided-what-its-for company.  However, in a gripping tale of time-mangement failures, Tommy is forced to pick between setting up the servers or going on a date with some random femme fatale from POF dating site. What will he do?

TO BE CONTINUED….

…THE CONTINUATION:

Tommy, who is typing in third-person because reasons, decided to choose both the date and to setup the server. At Tommy’s coworker’s behest, he sends a foot pic because ladies love pictures of your feet. (?)

Actual dialogue on pof ensues:

pretty lady: holy shit

pretty lady: i punched him in the face

tommy: what?! wait what!

pretty lady: i’m getting off this app, text me will you

tommy: i did but you keep deleting my number

tommy: what’s your number?

pretty lady: 716 *** ****

Tommy frantically texts her.

And her husband responds,

her husband: please stop texting and sending pics, this is her husband

POF deleted. The moral of the story is, computers aren’t married. And don’t send pictures of your feet to ladies’ husbands.

Epilogue:

The server is setup now. IPMI works well and when I remote into the server, it feels like I home from work now.
