NiceI once drove from Dorset in England, to Holland, because a server was down.
When I arrived I assessed the situation. Raised a finger to the patient, pressed the button marked "power", and marvelled at my technical prowress as the office came back to life.
Promptly got back in the car and drove home.
2 miles from home I was pulled for speeding :(
Biggest waste of 48 hours in my life.

Oh,I feel your pain.
I drove nearly 100 miles to Gatwick, got on a flight to Cincinatti, then from there to Chicago, then a taxi for about 100 miles....
....and plugged all the cables (power, monitor, mouse, keyboard and RJ45) in the back of a server...then did the whole thing in reverse and went straight back to work.
That has to be the most time consuming, most expensive and most polluting way of turning a new server on.
