The Cardboard Throne: Up-Cycling in the IT Department
The other day, I was deep in the glamorous world of network and system administration. Spoiler alert: it’s not always just configuring servers and managing software deployments. Sometimes, it’s pure physical labor.
Case in point: I had to unpack over 80 boxes of new computers.
