Work Sucks
« on: February 08, 2005, 07:51:53 AM »
So, anyone got any IT / Sys Admin Horror Stories to tell?
No?
Ok, I've got one, after 3 60 + hour weeks, and a 2nd attempt at a planned complete network migration, the company I work for was held up in it's latest attempt to mega upgrade their network by the crummy API and buggey damenons that keep spontanously restarting of a 3rd party network provisioning product.

It's 3 AM and my head is awash with network topologies and bash shell commands. AND I HAVE TO GO BACK AT 8AM!


Astronomy! YES ASTRONOMY! I'M GOING BACK for a masters degree in ASTRONOMY! Heck, where's the stress in that? LOL find this star before it's TOO late!
HA Now that I finnally got a job in IT I'm really starting to dislike it.

Aye!
I work with tech support. I've talked to the worst of them!

Me: "Ok, now press the Start-button..."
Customer: "Whozzat?"
Me: "The green button in the lower left corner of the screen."
'click'
Customer: "Ok, now the TV is turned off!"

What a lousy profession IT has turned out to be. 30 years ago if everyone knew that the computer field would be nothing more than a bunch of digital janitors, everyone would have chosen a different career.

For a bit of release, and remembrance that others share your pain...

Hey we're all done.
The server room now has most several better, prettier rows of blinking lights!

Definately worth the 36 hour marathon.

Small consolation I know, but the alternative to work is to not work.  On the whole I would rather be working. Congrats on the pretty blinking lights! I know how it feels when they don't blink.
