Boring

So I’m sitting here at work….

It’s another one of these contract IT positions. Some have been good, but this one is really boring. It reminds me a lot of when I was a consultant way back in the day at Mizzou.  The deskside support IT guy here apparently had kidney failure, or something, and I was contracted in to fill his position until he returns. On the one hand it is kind of neat, because I get my own office, and I have access to all the cool stuff in the server room. On the other hand, most of the job is spent sitting around waiting for a problem ticket to come in. Yesterday there was a little excitement when someone’s monitor decided to go all green, but as you might imagine, it only took about 10 minutes to swap the monitor for a working one.  I’ve also been doing some laptop builds, just setting up the laptops that users will get.  I have to let the batteries charge up all the way, so a single laptop takes an hour and a half.  Luckily, I get off here in about 2hrs, so thats good.  The rumor around here is that they guy I’m  filling in for will be back in the next day or two.
