Another Monday morning….
I had a decent weekend. I took Friday off because of the bullshit I had to put up with last weekend, getting called 50 million times. My dipshit bosses decided that I had to use my own time off for this since “I get paid for being on call – not on call pay and a day off” Whatever! If I had the patience to fight it I would, but it’s like talking to a brick wall, since my manager makes no decisions oin her own, and is afraid to speak up about things. So I took the day anyway, because I needed the time.
I spent Friday doing stuffs in the yard, since I finally have a patio, and grass again. It’s nice, I can’t wait till I can afford to buy some more stuff back there. Friday night I did some site work, and fixed a few scripts.
Saturday, I did some more stuff outside, and I don’t really remember what else. Yesterday since I was actually caught up on serve-you.net, I decided to try and finish up dollar25 radio. I got a lot done, but I have a bunch more to do still. I am trying to do a cd store, and it takes forever entering all the shit into my table. Once I actually get a good number of em done, then I’ll break it up into alphabetical pages, and it will be posted. Last night we went back to Columbia, to visit Steph’s dad, and have some dinner. It was nice getting to see him, we never seem to have the time to make the trip up, even though it’s only about an hour away. It’s actually really close to my work, but I’d hafta drive back down to VA to pick Steph up then come all the way back, which is why we never go during the week.
Anyhow, I must get back to work, because there’s a shitload of cases waiting from Friday (go figure).
oof!
I am one tired mofo. My commute was long, and i kept feeling like i was gonna fall asleep driving cuz it was so slow.
I got my “review” at work about 2 months ago. I have been waiting for my raise to show up on my check, and to get my retro pay back to October, when I was supposed to of had the review. I open up my mail this morning, and find an email from my new manager saying “Please send me your employee ID number. I need it to complete your PCN.” WTF?!?! I wrote her back asking why she is doing my PCN, it should have been completed 2 months ago! What the fuck is wrong with people? You dont fuck with people’s money! I swear to god, ima go postal up in dis mothafucka soon!
I woke up at 9 today, oops! The landscaping people were out back using a power tamper in the pit they dug. I took off, and made it to work in about 35 minutes. I miss that commute. It’s so much less stressful, and I don’t get to work already pissed off at the world. Looks like a job lead I had is dead. The search continues.
BAH!
I want my weekend back. Back to work today, though it feels like I never left. Got rid of the on-call shit this morning, so that’s a plus. Monday’s are my early day, cuz we take china to her d00gie class in the evening. I think this week or next week is the last class. We haven’t really gained much from the class. The book they gave us is very helpful, but in the class the trainer just follows what’s in the book. And I don’t like one of the other dogs in there, and china really does not like him. I still think the class was worth every penny though, because we have learned how to control some of her bad habits. Not much else going on. Bored at work, wishing I was doing something else.
I have had an absolutely shitty day. I have been getting called and paged all damn day. Once again I had to tell NT Techops how to do THEIR fucking job. It gets old. So I finally start to cool off, and relax since the fucktards have not called me in a few hours, so I try to get some work done. I got the new password authentication system up and running for stv. I put some more ram in the WWW server, things are looking better. So then I try to swap some ram out in the FTP server, this is where my night turns back to shit. The module is being a bitch, and wont seat in the slot. So I notice the module is actually seated, it’s the release tab that is fux0red. I bring the box back up, and get no love. Then, smell smoke, and see smoke. The slot is fried, along with the ram. This doesn’t bother me too much, because the machine came back up with that slot empty, and I really don’t give a shit about that box since nothing really important happens on it. Now I decide to setup a new program that I have been using on another box. I am going from term to term checking that permissions and such match. My laziness finally caught up with me… I hit the up arrow a couple times to reuse a command as usual. Instead of this: la ../cgi-bin/ (la is an alias for ‘ls -la’ on my machines)… I accidentally hit enter on: rm -R ../cgi-bin/. Bye-Bye serve-you scripts! You just can’t even imagine how dumb that makes me feel. I mean, I know this shit happens to the best of admins at one time or another, but it still suckz! So of course, I have back-ups of most of the shit, but I had done a shitload of customizations to part of a script, that had not been backed up yet. Oh well,.. life goes on. I can probably do it better the second time around anyhow. So now I’m calm again, and hopefully these fuckz will let me get a good night sleep.
Have I mentioned how much my job sucks…
Being on call sucks ass.
Getting called when you are on call sucks even more.
Being on call for a dept. you don’t even work in anymore is the ultimate in suck.
I have been called 5 times since I left work last night, I got a whopping 5 hours of sleep this morning. And I still hafta wait for a fuckin build to be finished sometime today. Im going to go shower now and get some breakfast. Maybe I can make it through those two tasks without being fucking bothered.
ASLDFJNASDFLKJASD!!!!
The one fucking night I actually got to sleep nice and early, what am I woke up to at 1am?
*ring*
*ring*
Why is NT TechOps such a worthless fucking group. Oh yeah, because NT is such a worthless piece of shit. And with that said, I’m going back to sleep.
