My friggen 32 hour workday
Friday:
Start work 8am
(okay OKAY.. fark around on the net until 9:30 and get paid for it..) Work full day, take REAL short lunch (teach you to fark around on the net..DUMBASS)
Stop work at 5.
5 - 6 walk dog, read emails, tease wife with icicle-like fingers..
6 - 7:30 Boot camp (first exercise class in 8 months, with an instructor who is part sadist, with a surprising Messiah complex. Sweat..A - FRIGGEN- LOT!!! Push it for all it's worth.
7:22 Even though you told them NOT to call you for an hour and a half, get call from work about service issue at Hospital.
7:30 - 8 Eat dinner any damn way
8 pm - 11 am bang your friggen head against a wall of lying IT maggots, inferior equipment, and manufacturers who don't actually INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS IN THEIR MANUALS!!!
11 am to 1 PM attempt to get 2 hours sleep while fantastic co-worker saves the day.
11:15 first phone call - Moron from helpdesk wanting update
11:20 2nd phone call - Moron from Helpdesk YESTERDAY wanting same update
11:24 Manufacturer tech support calling back from EIGHT HOURS AGO!!!
11:30 Other site calls for service ONE AND A HALF HOURS DRIVE AWAY
12:10 crawl out of bed
2:00 arrive at customer's medicinal plant, find 3 separate cameras nonfunctional (early estimate of repairs NEVER AND A DAY!!) Search plant for wiring diagram, plan-o-gram or person to point me in right direction, FAIL AT THIS..
2:30 Call person who installed job, ask for location of power supply, FAIL!
2:40 Call person who normally inspects plant, ask for location of power supply, FAIL AT THIS
3:00 look in supply closet FIND MOTHER LOAD!!
3:15 find replacement power supply in junk heap of a truck, throw a kiss up to packrat instincts!!
4:30 while driving back, find out awesome co-worker is STILL trying to fix shoddy system, and needs laser level to aim crappy network wireless device. Drive to Lowes. Get told that $500 is NOT in the petty cash fund (which is what it costs to get a laser level that extends 200 feet!)
6:00 as you are throwing a jacket over your head to TRY and get SOME semblance of sleep, Management FINALLY allow personnel to leave site..
THAT, ladies and germs.. was my last workday...
