I feel bad about not posting that often anymore. I used to write so much! The issue is that I just really do not have the time or patience to write, even though I want to. Also, I feel like I always have more important things that I should be doing.
I've been working a lot at my Dad's event space, doing tech stuff. Today was ridiculously busy and chaotic, because the client was having issues with the internet connection, and naturally everyone panicked. Fortunately, I was already headed down there, so it wasn't too much of a disturbance on my part.
Unfortunately, when I got there, everyone was upset, and no one had any idea what was going on. Neither did I, of course, as "the connection is down" isn't exactly helpful troubleshooting information.
Regardless, we were able to stabilize the connection in about an hour, and I set up a backup connection just in case. I continued working straight until 4:15PM, five hours later, when I decided that I needed food.
I enjoy working under high-pressure situations. It's an adrenaline rush for me. I literally seal my mind of from anyone who is not technologically involved. I found the client's IT guy, and we worked together to get everything up and running asap. I literally ignored the fact that we were surrounded by people asking if the connection was back up yet, or accusing one another for the problem. A lot of people think that the internet is a simple thing-you can just plug in a wire, and tada! Unfortunately, there are tons of places for things to go wrong, and sometimes you never end up finding the issue.
The reason that I love working with other techs is that they too realize that the first priority is to find a solution to the issue at hand. Neither one cares who is at fault. We just need to get it done so these people will stop yelling. And that is that.
What a horribly written post, congrats on getting this far. It was actually more of a rant!
