Honestly 70% of what I do is get rid of spam.
The other 30% is search logs and warn customers they're infected with something.

Please god, take me now.

Some days its so hard to be motivated for this, I need a pot to a pot and a half of coffee to get a caffeine kick required to do anything.

So looking forward to going on my run after work. That will be the highlight of my day.

I was really hoping this thread would be hijacked into something vaguely interesting.

Damn it.

They should hire the lemmings from tech support that aspire to do something serious to do this job and the people who have a clue should be moved to Network Engineering, Network Architecture, System Administration, Network Security or something. ANYTHING but this.

There's a lot of nice perks about this job I like.
There's a lot of nice people I work with that make the job nice.

Doesn't change the fact the work is more mind numbing than watching paint dry.

If I had some sort of tech support job, I'd be dead. Self inflicted gun shot wound or capital punishment I suspect.

I came close .... except the gun was going to be aimed at others... like management. That was my last job.

This is a step up from tech support in that I am not on the front line phones and our department is pretty much on even footing in terms of rank with other core engineering/tech departments.

Only downside is that it is a largely administrative role and not as technical as I was lead to believe... :(

It's only temporary. Sometimes we do what we wanna do, the rest of the time we do what we have to do. Keep your focus on your goals and you'll get there in due time.

Yep. No worries mate. I got my eye on the prize.

I hope the company gets sold off and I get retrenched. That'd be awesome. I'd get a decent pay out and I wouldn't need to put in the 12 months here that I said I would and I'd get decent references. I'd also pick up another job in no time.

Thejake i'm not sure of of what the situation is like in your office, but when I used to work in an office I used to pass the time by doing BWE. Sounds stupid but it was fun. (I was usually alone in the office so I didn't look like a fool doing it. I'm not sure if you have your own room or a cubicle or what.)

Anyway, I'd do pushups, situps, hindu squats, and dips off a chair or table.

**** helps too.

here's an example just a little sample:
how could I just kill a man
one time tried to come in my home take my chrome
I said yo it's on. take cover son or you're assed out
how do you like my chrome then I watched the rookie pass out
didn't have to blast him but I did any way, young punk had to pay
so I just killed a man

BWE - yeah I could. Hell the gym is 2min from where I work. I try to get my work out of the way early and go to gym ASAP. The proximity of the gym is awesome. That in itself is awesome.

*shrug*

**** is doable. We aren't filtered or monitored in that respect (there are only two departments who aren't filtered, we're one of them).

I'm tempted to see if I can bring my machine in and just download **** off the office LAN.

If you killed someone by dropping them into a bathtub of liquid nitrogen and then shattered them into a billion itty bitty pieces and washed them down the bathtub, followed by some bleach, would there be any trace of the crime?
