Grrr...

I've spent 2 hours trying to call our hub specialists in Houston to configure our networked timecarding system, only to find from somebody else that Houston sent an email saying their office was down due to storms. :mad:

Next, I pulled a McGuyver and removed a faulty CD ROM from a craptastic Compaq, using only a paperclip and a piece of gum :)

That at least made me feel good.

Now, I've got a 90 minute trip coming up in an hour. Gotta go to our Gadsden site and configure their crap. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\">

[ReaperFett]

and configure their crap
Didnt know you were a toilet cleaner:)

[Keerrourri Sarrtarroa]

at least most people in the medical field can operate a toilet with ease.

[Live Wire]

Houston storms are fun :)

(born in houston)
There was a rainstorm one time, 3 feet of water. i think it was back in '88. I couldn't tell if I was walking or swimming, and this snake floated right past me. I think it was dead.

:lol: sorry i should have told you in my ever-increasing allotment of daily jibber-jabber. That's how drives are designed to work. You stick a paperclip in the little hole, and the diskette or cd pops out.

[Darth Viscera]

I hate to ask, but.....what the hell did you use the gum for?


*catches the "work" part*

OMG, you have a job?

[Darth Varlon]

Might as well say hallo from work myself. Yay! Only a half hour until closing :) Anyway..

<h2>HALLO!</h2>

[FightingChance]

I am at home...I'm unemployed.. :(

[Cizerack Hunter Forces]

The gum was to catch the little screws when I loosened them from the drive harness. Else, they would've fallen into the abyss of the motherboard and SCSI jungle down below, and I would've had to go exploring to find them :)

There's one good thing about being a Sys / Network Admin.

Control. Your soooooo ownd because I have the power to do what I want at will. And people ph34r this power. Tech support grovel to me, Sales reps think I am a deity, I speak on first name basis to the CEO. The PMY fetches my lunch. Computers obey my whims.

No, seriously, I'm so lazy I learned how to make verything secure and stable so I have nothing to do. Sign of a good Sys Admin is he's the the one reading the latest geek press and nothing goes wrong. My job performance review is based basically on how much I DONT have to do. Pretty cool sometimes, especially when I get first shot at all the really cool equipment. Like the new server.... a Quad PIII 550 Compaq with 100Gb of drive SCSI U/W (Quad channel too!) and 1Gb memory, expandable to 8Gb.

Sometimes, this job rocks

I had a doctor ask me today where the space bar was <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\">

I did Tech Support for the IT school that opened up..helping the Teachers and Secrateries learning how to use the stuff, For 10 bucks an hour, pretty easy money right? Wrong..god..they were stupid.. My fav. question was "Where is the Any key?" Stupid fool! I seriously wanted to bash them over the head with the keyboard..like that guy on SNL.. but I refrained and got my ten bucks for that hour.

[Force Master Hunter]

Been there, done that with Help Desk / Technical support. The worst one was some twat insisting his monitor was blown... got into a full on slanging match

I won. The fool didnt have it plugged in, despite insisting it was. I later just simply formatted the harddrive in retaliation. I am the BOFH.

[Darth Varlon]

I had a friend of mine and I get into a pisswar over whether defrag was a virus or not :) I almost formatted his drive, decided against it.

[Darth Viscera]

Used to have a job like that over at the CPDR. I'd finish my daily rounds in like 90 minutes out of an 8 hour day, then i'd just go downstairs to the 1st floor lunch room and sit back and read, sleep, or read. After like 15 minutes or so of sitting and not moving, except for turning the pages, the infrared sensors there would stop detecting me, and the lights would turn off. Does that mean that I'm a reptile?

[FightingChance]

Yes...

*Thinks how to make money..*

"I'm sorry Vics, we have to sell you to the zoo to pay up, our bills here..yeah..."

[Keerrourri Sarrtarroa]

Hehe...working again...nothing going on :)
