Man, I gotta jump in here because something's not right. @daniel_cooper34, you're right about lifts helping ceilings, but firecode 5/8 is way heavier than regular drywall. That stuff weighs like 90-100 pounds a sheet, not the standard 50-60. So your idea of smaller batches is smart, but you gotta be careful because stacking too many in one place can actually crack the ceiling joists if you're not paying attention to the structure. I've seen guys overload a room and mess up the floor trusses trying to move them. The lift is a good call for ceilings, but for walls, I'd still hand hang them because the lift takes forever on vertical installs. Just don't think you can treat firecode like regular board, that's where people get hurt.

Had a buddy who runs a small managed IT shop, he called me totally freaked out last month. One of his clients (a local dental office with like 30 employees) got hit because the receptionist clicked a fake "Adobe sign" link in her personal Gmail on her work laptop. Within 15 minutes the whole network was locked down, patient records encrypted, the works. He told me the whole thing started with a single phishing email that looked totally legit, even had the dentist's real signature block copied from a past email. Cost them something like 12 grand to clean up and restore from backups, and the receptionist still feels awful about it.

My home server's held together with duct tape and prayers, guess we're all just lucky it hasn't caught fire yet.

Man, a buddy of mine walked on it and said it feels like fine cold sugar, not like beach sand at all. @grant380 would probably agree.

Man, it's crazy how that kind of thing happens more and more now. Feels like a lot of businesses just count on you giving up and moving on instead of actually fixing the problem. Makes you wonder if taking your time to find someone local is always worth the hassle in the long run.
