PFfffftttttt
USED to be

 

What happened? I musta missed the story while sick?

 

Good morning. Or as I like to say when I walk into work at 8 like everyone else instead of 7 good afternoon. Took off today to get the house ready and move the oldest son in on Saturday. 3 guys. And a dog. And a grumpy old man. I need to switch out 2 of the 3 for a good woman and the dog is staying.

Be careful out there Bob! Put the cleats on.

I used to preach double redundancy for both High Availability and Disaster Recovery. Most companies never did and if you figure the cost of everyone sitting around while the system is down would pay for itself in a couple of hours. Yet they seldom do it. In the Medical Field, at least where I work, double redundancy is a minimum. On the other hand some gremlin can crawl in somewhere and cause problems no matter how hard you try to prevent it. Even with strict change management. My first question usually what is your back out plan. Still have downtime procedures in place but hope never have to use them.

 

Just came from a dorm room where the girls had the windows wide open and stat set on AC 69*. Reason was one of them has the flu and was having hot flashes..... Give me strength....

 

You can't fix stupid

Just look at it this way,,,Because of the stupidity you have to deal with now, when you die and go to heaven you get to go to the front of the line.

 

It is getting worse... But remember, I'm not just a member of the IDC club - I am a charter member!

They make you wear a harness, right?

 

Wear your dust mask?

 

Bite me.

 

Yes or I wouldn't do it

That would be perfect for him to cue up when she sneaks up on him...
@RocketMan do it!

seems reasonable

So, what job were they saving for you?

 

Let's just say an hours worth of disassembly and reinstall all the same parts because the morons didn't order the right parts. That tech was busy on a gravy job he upsold.
So I got a 2 hour shaft.

 

Oh, that is special.

you can’t seem to catch a break there lately.

 

That's why I steer every kid away for becoming a tech.
If you want to get hurt and still have to come in.
Stand around all day and not get paid.
Destroying your body with heavy sharp work.
Do 20% work and not get paid because of cust. Satisfaction.
Sure sign right up meatball..

 

Until I heard your stories I had no idea how brutally rough and unfair a business it is.

 

Come on down and follow me for a day. See exactly what I do and what I get paid for. Using my skill for free..

 

Has to be terribly frustrating.

 

Here. We go again....
The race is on.

 

At least its your 5 day week and you’re halfway thru humpday.

 

Well today is much better. First I didn't slip and fall on the ice. Second after some investigation found the issue that caused all the equipment that keep going offline. An Engineer in Singapore thought he was on a simulator but was live. He kept turning the equipment online and then offline. the system consists of 60 some storage banks with a high speed rail between them with 50+ vehicles on the rail. took four hours the first time and eight hours the second time. We just did a large network change over during the Holiday shut down. I was worried this was not going to be good.
