It's fun, but sometimes it can be boring. I learned allot about networking etc. and more stuff, but i can't put my genius mind at full because they wont let me. Next week were gonna repatch the patch pannels and reinstall new servers what we have now is pure junk. a 468 as a cetrix server:wtf:thats just stupid and the cases are open, it's crap.

Currently im at school, but after next year im going to university to probably do Aeronautical engineering, and then hopefully i can have a nice dark reaserch lab underground to design the future of paper planes. Projects like the X-43 SCRAM jet intrest me.

Win95NT:wtf: it sucks as a server and since 90% of the people on the office/home login on it. SO it SUCKS !!:D
I am happy we get a new server for that in a few days. and on monday ( a holliday, Pinksteren ) we gonna set that **** up and lets hope it doesn work corectly:D.
And we use 100mbp/s utp cables but use screwed up 10mbp/s switches and hubs. Ain't it stupid?

I think you mean WindowsNT or Windows2k. There's not Win95NT. As for the cable/switch thing, you're likely runing Cat5 (which is rated for 100mb) because no one bothers buying Cat3 anymore (10mb). Of course, if all your machines are running 10/100mb NICs, it would be stupid to be running 10mb switches--and its always stupid to run hubs with more than two ports (bridges).
Congrats on the job, though. I'm starting a job search myself.

Still in School but also a journalist. And the fun part is that if I say "we're gonna die!!!" then people really belive it. I'M EVIL!! :D

Yeah sory i ment WindowsNT, yup where using Cat5 and all our machines are running 10/100mb NICs, so it is indeed stupid, we need to image 276 Thoshiba Tecra 9000 laptops, and whit more then 2 laptops conected to the image server ( conected trough 5 switches:wtf: it doesn't make sence we need a direct line trough the server ) it runs like **** trough a funnel. They use 20 ports hubs. stupid stupid.

Hubs are a very bad idea for multicast imaging of servers. When I worked at a university, we would image the labs on a regular basis. It would take all weekend to image a 30 machine lab. When we setup a new lab, we dropped a nice 10/100 switch in there and *BAM* the imaging was done in something like two hours for an 8gig image. Needless to say, we went on a buying rampage and replaced all the hubs in the network with switches (turns out there were many squirreled away in places the network wasn't supposed to go!).

Yup, whit 2 machines we need to image per machine it takes 2 hours to image ( max 1gb image ) a damn laptop. I also sugetsed in a meeting to start replacing all the hubs. And if they don't want to do that we need atleast a seperate line to the image server.
But those ****tard of a financial manager doesn't want to invest in new stuff. a company needs to put 5% of it's income into the modinisation. but thats 2% now. The server room is messed up you can't see what wire leads to. And those new flat servers are standing on the ground on apiece of cardboard and the old junk in the server cases. I am i stupid or is this very unprofesional?
-
In my experience, Darkage, that IS professional. Most every shop i've ever worked in has had that sort of of stuff.
-
My job is to continuously complete assignments and projects before ridiculously early deadlines in order to appease my sadistic superiors, yeh I'm in high school... :D:D:D ;)

I would have expected more from a company that places/repairs etc elevators and escalators world wide. atleast that they put the servers on the cardboard into the server case. But sill i seen worse.
-
The company works with elevators and escalators? Ah, they must be into machine design and physics then! ;7
I am unemployed so far and am currently not in school anymore, so my job consists of working on my FS2 campaign and doing math stuff all day. :p I am thinking of applying for an internship position at the nearby NIST complex in the summer. (where I can get paid to do math ;7)
-
I still got the best job : [glow=green]» SOFTWARE TESTING (Including games!) « [/glow]
-
Im a full time student. Still once i complete my education im joining the Military.
-
I'm a student and I work part-time at the University's Computer Center. Pretty sweet setup :)
-
Full time "art and media" -student currently...
-
College student, entrepeneur, conqueror, global dictator. Getting a little ahead of myself but, meh.
-
Bah... jobs. I don't like talking about work. :D

I applied for a job as a concept artist. But I got turned down.
They didn't have a need for a 16 year old kid who lives 10,000 miles away and in 6 time zones. :)

Yes, I am talking about a real job. I work in a computer store. Well, it is part time work (school and all) but I enjoy it. :nod:
-
You know what im doing for work experiance? Joining the doll line and getting money for being unemployed :D
-
The only thing i hate is that i need to wakeup at 5 am.
-
Thats bad.
-
I'm usually awake at 5AM anyway. :p :D
-
I work for Narol, Dr. Zer0, TheVirtu, Ten of Twelve, and Aldo. :D
On the side I take idiotic tests that teach me nothing, do idiotic projects that have no point or educational value whatsoever, and live a life of pure slavery. Yup, I'm still a student and will be for at least another 8 years (provided I go to college). ;)

I am awake at 5AM only because I don't actually go to sleep until 7 or so, although I am up again by 11. :D (I'm one of those crazy all-nighters :D)
And do they pay you to do it? ;)
Maybe they pay him by letting him go first through the newly created jump node. :D
-
Hmm i gotta get up early, need time to watch every single SW film i have on video(all of them bar AOTC) and then go out skating with my mates.

How do you get a job like this? It would be an improvement over my current job.
I'm a sysadmin for a Chapter 11 ISP. My job is to sit around and collect a check until that magical day with the Judge Fairy says, "You've been such a good boy, Mik, you're out of work! And since you're unemployed, you can't sponsor your wife's residency anymore, so we have to deport her! Isn't that wonderful?"
Me? Bitter? Nah.
-
:wtf: Do you mean that you only sleep for 4 hours? :wtf:
Yeah, right. :headz:
Nah, my sleep is split into two four-hour periods. :p :D 7-11 AM and 6-10 PM (exact timings are a bit variable though), which makes 8 hours in total. ;)

You're strange... very strange...
Nice sleeping times you have. Also, I guess it would be much better to sleep 8 hours, and not to split it. :p

[head pitch=hanging]I'm a Wherehouse Music sales associate. I see people come in the door, say, "Have you heard that song...the one that says, 'Hey, baby, I love you.'? I'm looking for that CD," look at me with their puppy-dog eyes, and then sigh and badmouth the unknowledgable sales staff at corporate giant music chains when we can't get it for them.[/head]
It's actually not that bad...everybody that works there has a section or two that they know pretty well...the trick is to spot the customers who are going to ask you questions about the section(s) you know. [grin].
Ah, well, it pays the DSL bill.

Damn annoying day at work today, to many people calling to the helpdesk and i was alone for 3 hours ! because the other 4 where in some damn meeting ! and i had to image some pc's the imaging is easy whit a bootdisk and the NET USE command. But if you are working on those pc's and awnsering calls it can be very irirtating.
-
Hehe...
i'm a freelance 3D animator..
what this actually means is that i'm unemployed :p
-
I have a job too!!!! :D
I scoop the poop for 6 dollars an hour!!!!
-
SERIOUSLY...? :wtf:
I'm a full-time slacke....erm... "student". Well, that's not entirely true because I also work at John Lewis as infrequently as possible in order to pay for all the CDs I buy, and the occasional game.
And my f***ing expensive driving lessons. :mad2:
-
It's not so bad. Except when Uncle Sam steal about 40 bucks out of my pay check!!!! You bastard!!!!! Give me back my money!!!!!! Oh...wait. You do that at the end of the year. BUT I WANT IT NOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uncle Sam is a rip off.
