The CK Daily – Getting Back Into the Swing of Things
Good morning all!
Boy, do I wish I was back in the Florida Keys this week! Coming back to the full swing of work after a week off is tough! It’s hard to attempt to ignore the incoming emails during the week off and stinks to work through them when you come back – but the time off was very much enjoyed.
We spend the week kayaking our way around, manatee spotting, fish feeding, sunset watching, book reading, snorkeling and much more. It was truly the first time in quite some time I’ve had time off where I can say that I actually relaxed and felt rested.
Do you have any upcoming vacations or time off planned? How do you make sure that you make the most of your time off?
Hope you have a great rest of the week!

Sometimes, designing a network is complicated. You’re trying to squeeze power and resources out of what you have while minimizing costs and maximizing reliability. It’s an equation with constantly changing variables, and it’s enough to keep network engineers and administrators busy for their entire careers.
You need to push Ethernet and traditional wireless beyond what they normally do. The goal is straightforward, and that makes a solution easy to find. For such a project, you need Cisco 3850 switches.
