if your client computers are as old as the tech working on them

[tehjaybo]

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)

Garbage.

Your company get rid of the old computers?

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

I finish my IT certification at the end of March.  Sounds like a fun field to look forward to!

[tehjaybo]

Change while you still can.

I'll be starting from the bottom, too-- tech support, here I come!

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.

[tehjaybo]

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.

If you are having sleeping difficulty and stress issues, I suggest something natural and green.

Try lifting heavy things sometime. You'd be amazed at how trivial work seems after I get back from the gym at lunchtime. Everything just bounces off me.

Soon leads to waking-up issues though

[tehjaybo]

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.

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.
