You're outta there......

Well... My final work ties to Sutter Health were severed this evening when my email access was shut off. Kinda sad. It felt like the only thing keeping me in touch with some of the friends that I worked with for the past 3 years. There are some top notch network engineers there and a few up-and-comers. Put a few of them in a room with a problem and the perfect solution would come out in no-time. Put a some of the others in a room with a problem and nothing would happen...(kidding).

Some memories...:

• Networkers New Orleans - great training and a couple of shots...Bourbon Street Blues Club...
• Comdex, Networld+Interop, and Networkers Las Vegas - great training...and a couple more shots...oxygen bar...cigars...Coyote Ugly...the piano bar...wth is in the PowerShot?
• Man! Jester can put away the food.
• TK, how's that swing holding up?
• Did Driskill get that operation yet? You know.... (just kidding)
• The stress ball fights...and the resulting coffee spills, broken picture frames, ...
• Never throw a ball and knock Baker's coffee outta his hands at 7:00 in the morning - poor whiteboard...(man! I thought DL was laid out...)
• Will CM ever get any help?
• I still haven't had Togo's since we had it every other day at Granite Park...
• Projects - wireless, VPN, network management, WAN redesign, regional monitoring, UPSs, Storage, ... weren't we supposed to do something with out-of-band management?
• "I'm gonna take a #$*% and not flush the toilet..."
• "Don't ever do that again or I'm gonna come down there and get you!" "Are you threatening me physically?!" "No... I'm gonna come down there and get you so I can talk to you..."
• The emails....and emails....and emails... I gotta get my hands on that one that was mistakingly sent to the wrong Larkin (the reply)...
• The initiatives - eICU, eMap, EHR - life-saving stuff...made me very proud to be working for a company that put such a value on peoples lives
  

I'll miss everyone.
