we interrupt this broadcast...
posted @ 11:27 by ryan in [ Another adventure... ]

I was abruptly ripped from my normal (shortened) week last night by the news that I would need to go to Midland for the rest of my week.

I have joined a new team and I have to learn new things...

again.

there is a little bit more muscle behind this position, but I have to lower myself to speak with the computer illiterate and those who are just dumb.

I will soon have the power to shut off any user's computer who is on the network.

I will be able to figure out a tactful way to tell someone they are stupid....

and they will thank me for it.

I will also be the person onto whom they, meaning the huddle masses, will project self-directed anger. They will blame me for their ineptness...

I have entered into...

tech support...

... ... ...

this is not really a new thing for me, as I have been living this role for years now.

audio, video, computers, whatever... I am probably the person to get pinged...

... ... ...

I do not mind, though, it is always my pleasure to help people when I can...

but now that I get paid for it, I have to deal with stuff that I would usually ignore.

... ... ...

I do not know how I feel about this yet.

... ... ...

that, and I do not know where I will be sleeping tonight.

and I do not have a car up here.

... ... ...

we now return you to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress...
