Normally I would have 12 or so desktops there.

The server stacks were well above his height.

He probably could have, in his day, wired up 20 odd desktops, got them going, and maybe shave 10 minutes off my batch time.

But he really had nfi with the servers, the stacks were 2ft higher than him already, they all had dual power supplies, lots of idrac ports. He absolutely would have shamed himself if he kept going. And the reason he hired me was the ability to reason and read vendor documentation.

They also take ages to boot compared to a desktop.

So yes I think ALSO dont behave like a condescending asshole, but if he understood what I was doing he wouldnt have needed to leave his office and make a fool of himself anyway.
