We Unhappy Few

Filed under: Work - Ric @ 6:00 pm

It’s time again for one of those treasured moments in Information Technology. Time to burn the midnight oil; to go long; to to make fire; to do the voodoo we do. In other words, it is time to rip the guts out of the network, and then reassemble it into a mirror of itself in a new location. Oh and please do it in the dead of night while everyone else sleeps, and ensure that there is 100% availability when you are done, and, by the way, try to have it done in a couple of hours, because lord knows, western civilization depends on it.

Network and System guys are like the shoemaker’s elves, or Army recruiting comercials. We do more things before 6:00 AM then most people do all day…

So while you are all comfy and warm under the covers tonight, remember those of us making the lights on the RJ45 ports turn green and the machine that goes “ping” do it’s thing. We few, we unhappy sleepy few…
