No sleep.....

Lucky me, i have the "Critical pager" for the week.... which means when someone has a problem after hours (it is supposed to be only for critical issues, but critical is subjective...) i have to help them.


Imagine this situation:

We have no IT people in our Sydney Australia office. there is roughly a 12 to 14 hour time difference between New Hampshire, USA and eastern Australia... My work computer is not connecting to the internet on my new high speed line, so i had to use a wireless modem card to use sprint's network to connect. I could not call, because sprints coverage of my area sucks, so so did my internet connection.

I had to connect to the other computer, that was half a world away, in the SOUTHERN hemisphere, over a shitty wireless dial-up connection.....

the whole fiasco started at 10:20. i finished at 3:45. I am tired. I( hate people. If i thought he could finsd the guy, i would send Cheeba some money to find him and smack him for me.

He was a nice guy, but jesus christ, why in hell did they assign pc tech work to a FINANCE MANAGER?????
