Dear Lord, I Apologize..

for using your name in vain so many times today, along with a few other choice words, while replacing a laptop LCD at work. Those many screws required to get that broken LCD free and screw in the new one? Too wonderful to mention! (oops!)

Also, I want to thank you for teaching me how important it is to not try to put one model’s stupid screen in another model’s laptop. It was good for me to see how that breaks the ribbon. Oh, and I was lucky to see how to replace the ribbon, if it weren’t for those dumb screws that were screwed in hydraulically, which prevented their eventual removal, thereby just PRAYING TO YOU that part of that ribbon touching the contact was going to be enough to light up that gosh darn screen. Which, for now, it was.

Thank you, Lord, most of all, (and I mean this) for keeping me calm enough to avoid flinging the laptop through the air and just going home for the day.

My mortgage lender thanks you much more!

Let us pray that, eventually, I earn the pay required to actually be an IBM tech.

Amen.

Who Needs A Job?

I think I like this man. Especially since my 7 work days off is quickly coming to an end.

Please let me find a way to work from home.

Inventory

I found out today that my boss expects me to be on the lookout for whatever servers they happen to order so that I can run up to them, grab their serial number, apply an asset tag and put them into the inventory.

It’s not that they haven’t done this in the past. It’s just that they haven’t felt like doing it, and I make a good scapegoat when confronted by the finance team.

“Lisa, why haven’t you been doing that”?

“Ummm… because I’m not invited to your little server parties and how would I know servers are arriving?”

“Well, it’s pretty obvious when a big box comes that it’s a server.”

(Oh, that’s right, I think. I am always at my desk watching every little thing you people do.)

Nevermind that I inventory everything that I order (way more than what they order). Now I have to inventory their stuff, too, which I don’t mind if they just tell me the stuff has arrived.

Pass the Jack Daniel’s Hurricane Punch, please.

My job is going to be a whole lot easier. I mean, all I have to do is be on the lookout for big boxes arriving. Forget about the rest of it.

Your Job Dissatisfaction Level is 34%

Your job is not bad, but it’s probably not a long term thing. You’re just not happy enough to stick around for too long… And there’s little that can change how you feel. Start looking around for other options, but only quit for something really good!

Should You Quit Your Job?

One Year Later

Today has been all about “relief” and “gratitude”. I was comfortably able to exhale, look back, and realise that I’m in a good place.

It was today, a year ago, when I was unexpectedly without a job. The place that I had gone to for 20 years made it abundantly clear that I was of no further value to them, and booted my sorry behind out the door.

I was looking at a few of the emails I sent out that day, and it’s really amazing how “normal” things have become again. A year ago, I was experiencing daily, sometimes ALL DAY panic attacks. I made finding a job.. a job. An unpaid one.

And then, two weeks later, I had a new job. It’s been a transition, and one I didn’t think I would be able to adjust to, at times. But I survived the year.

Today, instead of going out of my mind because I’d lost control over my life, I was worried about finding my hamster, who’d escaped from her cage (found her, thanks). I was working on loading laptops and scraping up enough AC adapters for the slew of new hires soon arriving. I was making a trip out of the office to a client’s house to fix a computer. I was hanging out in the Harley shop watching an exotic animal show for “Family Fun Day”. I was spending time with my family and cleaning mud off my dog’s paws.

I was happy about surviving a year without my former employer. It was like a birthday, really, without cake and presents. It was an “I can live without you just fine” kind of day, and that felt pretty good.

Of course, I wouldn’t have made it to this spot as easily without loving support from my friends and family. Thank you so much.

The Flood

First, has anyone seen my laptop power cord? I need it. Tell me where it is! 😦

Secondly, a pipe in the ceiling at work burst. Water came down over desks. Luckily, the ceiling was lined with plastic (?), so there was so mewarning before the major gush of water descended. We had time to cover up some machines and monitors. The surge protectors might be hosed, though.

So I spent the afternoon:
1. Changing, cause where did that water come from anyway?
2. Taking inventory of the machines that may or may not be damaged.
3. Moving machines to areas where people could work. Right now, there are 3 new people in IT.. temporarily anyway. But that’s ok. We could use some company.

Hopefully, tomorrow, some desks and carpet will be dried out enough to move some computers back to where they belong.

We need a new darned office space. This isn’t the first time this has happened.

Corporate Life, or Not

So I didn’t get the job I interviewed for at the big trucking firm. It’s funny, because the first two days after the interview, I was very much for the cushy corporate job. Well, not so cushy, because it was just another tech job, but it was in a fancy huge office with wooden walls and a horse fountain inside.

By day 3, I was thinking, “Do I really WANT a corporate job again?” I mean, all the rules… all the little nitpicking, being watched all day… having to go back into a call center… NAW!

By day 3, I began to appreciate the little frills my job offers, even though the pay is not quite what I would like it to be (or what I’ve been accustomed to, but we’ve been able to manage so far). Most of all, my coworkers are actually acting like they like me, so it’s becoming comfortable.

And, hey, our office will never win any beauty prize. Some time ago, the carpet was replaced, but only in the hallways… not under the cubicles (or within them, for that matter) or anything. Half the space is hot; half is cold. Sometimes the workers upstairs cave in our ceiling, but what the heck.. it’s home.

And there’s not too much killing everyone to make a buck or rip people off, like the old insurance business was. The mission is respectable. People are helped, even when they can’t afford the help. It’s a good thing.

So, no corporate job for me, and I can’t say that I’m too terribly sad about it. 🙂

I’m an Intranet Designer

I finally was able to publish MY rendition of my company’s intranet today. It took some time to wrench the responsibilities away from the person who was doing it before. Then, someone had an idea for a special background that just wouldn’t fall together with the rest of the page. So I plead my case, so to speak, and my idea was approved, and today I published it.

Right now, I’m converting the stylesheet over to CSS so that every page does not have it’s own look and feel. ‘Cause as a former blog designer, that’s how I’m used to seeing pages designed.

I would like to give it more flash, but that will come in time.

One of the managers stopped by and gave me a hard time about always changing the Intranet. “It’s different every time I go into it”.

Welcome to my world of design, sister. 🙂

Work Fun

One out of two monitors ordered from Dell showed up today.
My boss said, “Where’s the other monitor?”
Me: “I imagine it’ll be here tomorrow. Only this one came today.”
Him: “So, you put the other one on (blah blah’s) desk?”
Me: “No, because THIS IS THE ONLY ONE so far.”

This is where he goes to blah blah’s office to see if there is a new monitor there or not. He’s doing this because he doesn’t believe me.

Later, the subject came up again. I said, “I wasn’t kidding. There is only the one monitor so far.”

Him: “Well, I get so many stories around here…”
Me: “Not from me, you don’t.”

Hopefully, he figured out I was not kidding.

Back to work, back to work…

Last night, I lamented about returning to work after a week off. I saw, in advance, that my boss had a short list of discussion points and/or things for me to follow up on. Thankfully, our twice monthly one-on-one meeting was today, and I ensured him I was ontop of all that stuff. Unfortunately, the meeting brought up a few more things I needed to be working on, some of them fun Intranet design stuff, some of them “organize the server room” stuff.. Let’s just say I have enough to keep me busy for a few weeks.

Overall, it was a good day, though. I would rather be busy than sit around and introspectively examine my life all day… like much of last week. How depressing, right? Well, I suppose not for everyone, but it’s been a crazy year, ok?

Tomorrow, I start a rider class at a local Harley shop. I am going to learn to drive a bike…. a Buell, to be specific. It’s 6 hours of in-class instruction and 16 hours of driving. It all ends with a party and cake, so it can’t be THAT bad, right? “Don’t crash the bike… you’ll live to have cake.”

Yeah, baby.
