so yesterday sucked.... bad... :somewhat graphic update beware:

hahahaha... Actually I was moving some cisco 5000 series switches which are a small chassis switch but fully loaded (which these were) they sit between 60-70 lbs

 

never a major bone broken (fingers and toes dont count haha) in 4 yrs high school and 3 yrs college football haha. i had some close calls though, for awhile i thought i was bruce willis in unbreakable. :bigwink:

did tear my arterior and interior ligaments in my shoulder and partially tore my bicep muscle though, dislocated the arm 4 inches into my armpit. yeah it didnt feel good.

you work for an isp? i think theyre the only ones to still use that shit. i hate those things man, waaaay too heavy.

tell those fuckers to get with it and go to blades.

 

hahaha... Actually I spend alot of time working on bigger chassis than those. Cisco, Extreme, Juniper and Force10. But I am off my feet for a while and driving is out of the question. It will be interesting to see a deployment I have scheduled for this upcoming weekend :\

 

yeah, i run junipers. i only use cisco for my routers and hp switches.

i just switched over to fiber the first week of nov.

my new bull was setup in august....i had ibm movers for that though, haha, im not gonna mess with a machine that heavy....

 

Sorry to hear that. I tore up my ankle around October 10th playing basketball... still isn't 100% yet... so I SORT OF see where you're coming from in a much more minute way.

Hang in there huckleberry.

 

oohhh boy.... Ryan? Ryan? Can we get a comment on this. lease:

(i am really really looking forward to this...)

 

Marc works for Avaya and for some reason has been stuck with these machines (He calls them Barneys) when customers call in with questions or requests for them, just because he has had a class or two in them.

 

No kidding? Avaya is one of our partners. Barneys == Extreme

 

Not surprised, they've got partners everywhere. Fortunately, he's able to work from home over the phone/laptop.

 

Ask him if he does any work for ABBA. I do not touch the Avaya stuff, as I am just a network engineer.

 

Nope, not ABBA, not really sure how to describe what he does. Basically he works with the IP phone systems for different big clients like Home Depot, Wynn, and Union Pacific. And some other companies that used to be big but are having issues now.

 

I hate hearing about this stuff. I've been there with my knee taking down a bad guy! But I think they got your injury on video!

Mains man be careful with those Oxy's I lost a good friend to them and one I no longer speak to because hes an addict to them. He got hooked form a motorcycle acident. take them only when you really need them. Heal fast man!!!!!

 

Wow well kido truck it thourgh and keep your mind off the pain.

 

I hear ya. I haven't had one since sunday morning. As I am out lol...:bigwink:

 

Man I'm always picking up fully loaded 6509's (150+lbs) and loading them in my truck or putting them on palets or worse the APC 5000 UPS's (around 200lbs). The guys think I'm a human forklift since I'm 6'3" 240ish...
Never done that yet thank god but I've broken both knee caps in accidents when I was young, the only severe pain I get is when I teach how to do a drop step at wrestling practice for our school team.

Get well man! Sucks but you'll have cold weather/damp weather pain due to your injury for life. I know when a storm is coming when my knee goes cold and achey.
