Am I the only one
 

Anyone else just sitting at work not doing a d*mn thing? The only people here are IT guys, and not doing anything but standing around shooting the shtuff...

I'm doing what I do best when there's nothing to do at work: HITTING THE REFRESH BUTTON ON THE PELICAN PARTS BBS!!!:p

Excuse me! I am busy. Today I've.... Well I've thought about alot of things. True I haven't actually done anything. I tell a lie, I moved the receptionists car for her because it's raining. Yes I'm an IT guy.

Does it count if I'm a jobless IT guy and I haven't done anything today??

BTW, if anyone wants to pay someone to configure, install and otherwise play with Cisco routers or switches......SmileWavy

Not_Sure, I'm a Network Administrator as well. Well, I would be if my boss wasn't away for a few days and I actually did something. I'm not MCSE or anything but I do have a CNA. I setup LANs including file servers switches hubs routers. Install apps and helpdesk workstations. My present job I get payed NZD$45,000, a job I had previously I got payed NZD$55,000 (per annum) which is about USD$25,000. I guess the conversion doesn't mean much as I earn and spend here (other than buying Pelican Parts stuff). But, how much would I earn in the US - I'm very average at what I do? Bill '79SC

I do alot of things at work. I just got back from an extended lunch. What did I miss. . .

Bill, I have moved on to playing with Oracle, Unix and a product called FileNet. This pays a lot better then when I was a network admin which paid about 40K, I think you can get better pay then that but I was new to network stuff. I to was very busy surfing PP and other P-Car related sites today.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I am to busy!
 

Juggling the Pelican BBS reload button, taking long lunch breaks and keeping up with an ongoing conversation via email with a friend of mine has kept me very busy today.

Almost beer-thirty. I'm pooped.

Hmmm, hard day so far. 18 holes of golf, sushi lunch and a few beers. Oh, gee, look at the time, almost time for a nap before I hang my new Porsche flag.

IT Project Manager Consultant - sitting around since October.

Too wet for yard work. Garage too small for car work. PCar doesn't do rain. Life's a *****!

Thank god for the Tech Forum and Wayne!

Woke up today, pet the cat, went for a drive around town, back home, played music, surfed PP, took a nap, and now I feel GREAT!
what a life.


hehe

OK not_sure, mister "Is anyone else bored",

I hold you personally responsible for my mail server crashing at 4pm on the day before a 4 day weekend. I ended up leaving work at almost 8pm, didn't make it to Harbor Freight to get the rest of the crap I need to start my clutch project.

I hope you are proud of yourself :D

And I thought I was slacking by leaving the office at 5:00!!!

Overdose of the nineties

You know you've had an overdose of nineties when:

- You're trying to enter a password to your microwave oven.

- You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

- You have 15 phone numbers where you can reach your 3 family members

- You send email to your co-worker, who happens to work at the cubicle next to you

- You chat in the internet with a person who lives in Antarctica several times a day, but you haven't changed a word with your neighbour (this year).

- The reason for not being in contact to some of your friends is that they don't have an email.

- Your idea of order are different colour 3M tags on your desk

- Most of the jokes you hear, come through an email

- After a long day at work, you answer to phone at home the same way you did while you were at work

- You've been working at the same desk for four years, but have been serving 3 different companies.

- Your job application is saved on a disk, which is in your pocket.

- You hear about you getting fired on the evening news.

- Its dark when you drive to work, and dark when you go home - including summers.

- Your screensaver tells exactly how many days you have until retirement.

- Holdays are something, that you postpone next year.

- Your family and relatives think you actually work with the computers

- You know your children only by looks, because their pictures are on your cubicle wall.

Final proof of overdose:

- You read the whole list and smiled and nodded all the time.
- While you were reading this list, you were thinking of "friends" who to sent it to, with email.

It was so bad in our office the Oracle DBA`s had a football game going in the parking lot. Its not that I did not want to work, but its hard to do anything when no one else is around.
