Title: if your client computers are as old as the tech working on them
Post by: tehjaybo on February 04, 2010, 04:30:02 AM: And they continuously crash at 2AM to 5AM, causing said tech to be woken up by someone in broken english, to go in and push a button, then wait an hour for confirmation from both Guatemala and India that the person in India can connect again, then it might be time to replace them. Maybe get a couple of blades running some VM software that don't crash every night ( and that are managed by a different queue so I can savor what little sleep I already get)

Remember, your bosses are the ones who still type with one finger... :lol

Post by: tehjaybo on February 05, 2010, 03:02:27 AM: Don't get me wrong, there are days where I absolutely love what I do. But then there are the long, stressful days with bosses breathing down my neck about ticket age and SLA violations... it gets really stressful. It doesn't help that I haven't been sleeping well lately, and that I don't take criticism well. You kind of have to roll with things like that, but it's hard for me to do.

Starting to understand the gun thing now.

Post by: tehjaybo on February 05, 2010, 03:13:27 AM: It's an enjoyable hobby, but I can't deny that it stems from the fact that I have very low self confidence, and no one can deny that guns can be seen as a symbol of power. It's just one of the little ways I try to make myself feel better.

Soon leads to waking-up issues though

Post by: tehjaybo on February 05, 2010, 03:37:46 AM: Very rarely to I imbibe the green. I actually prefer not to. No real reason as to why, I just don't.

And I've been meaning to start some sort of workout... I just am having trouble starting. I refuse to go to a gym alone, and i'm not very motivated on exercise by myself. The closest I get to "heavy lifting" is moving PCs around. Given, they're the old clunkers that weigh a ton.

Post by: T234 on February 05, 2010, 03:49:10 AM: Without the green, while I worked at Wal-Mart I probably would have strangled people there at the end. I have rage issues. I go from completely at peace with the world to capable of committing multiple murders by knife in seconds.

I've never had sleep issues though.
