I&#8217;ve screamed for pure 20 minutes at least. I also understood how many problems come up from not following nettiquette in email communications&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Second, after the meeting I had to fix two machines with weird problems. To be honest, I wasn&#8217;t even thinking while I was doing that, fixed that in 20 minutes just like that.<\/p>\n<p>Third, in the evening after 20:00 I reconfigured the network, including a few exercises of the type &#8220;reconfigure the branch you&#8217;re sitting on&#8221;. I managed to untangle two networks one from another, to clean up a lot of the configuration of one of them, and to make it a bit more portable by messing again parts of the config with some proxyarps, policy routings and VPNs.<br \/>\n(two fun moments were the explanation to a lad on the other side &#8220;disconnect the cable from port X&#8221;, &#8220;ok, now connect it back&#8221;, and how right now two adjacent ports on one switch are interconnected with a straight cable (as there&#8217;s no way to bridge two VLANs there in any other way, and to move the ports in the other VLAN would&#8217;ve been a branch-killing of a deathly proportion)).<\/p>\n<p>And the strangest thing is that when I went to the store before the third thing to get something to eat I passed near the beers and didn&#8217;t take any. Even though I had this tremendous desire to get 5 and to drink them while breaking the network. Something is wrong with me.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t feel like even thinking on what&#8217;s coming Monday. Or Sunday, seems like I had some stuff to finish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;May you live in interesting times&#8221; is definitely a curse&#8230; Friday I managed to do three almost heroics: First, I survived from a two-hour meeting with the &#8220;marketing and sales&#8221; department, the boss and one of my tech team about a system on customer relations tracking.
