anyone else having a boring day at work?

[nageov3t]

my boss is out on paternity leave (is that a thing?), my one in-house coworker is working from home today, I knocked out my weekly duties for my one big on-going project yesterday, and there's jack shit going on otherwise

I have a couple tickets in my queue, but they're all really small things and I'm trying to make them last all day so that I *really* don't run out of things to do, but meanwhile, I feel guilty surfing the net (and whats more, the WoW forums are down, limiting the net I'd be surfing as it is)

totally turning into one of those stare at the clock all day days. I'd never thought I'd actually hope for a server to suffer a catastrophic failure or something.

That's when it's time to build a new VM or go thru an HP learning center class

I'm zoning some LUNs right now, so yeah it's tedious and boring.

 

[JDub02]

yes .. had yesterday off making a 3 day weekend. i really don't feel like working today. not much going on.

 

[MotF Bane]

I've been reading through DailyWTF for about a week now. Before that, it was Cracked. Before that, Sinfest.

I really want to build a test server just so I can practice breaking it and doing full file-level and bare metal restores of different operating systems, but I'd need my boss's approval to have it built.

I could be building a hyper-v cluster and migrating our testing and development environment (takes up 3 whole standard racks and overflowing into production racks most server sit idle blah blah)... but I brought the idea to management and all I heard were crickets chirping... so here I sit neffing. I give up.

Just go for a cheap server if you don't have a spare and ask your boss to approve it as a spare in event of failure for parts, or for training/testing. I always have a couple of spares in house here for my sysadmin to test certain things before implementing in production (wish I had some SAN expansion $$ to build a proper dev environment).

Yeah - it's pretty slow here too. I would be annoyed at the database admin for rebooting the server that Oracle runs on without telling anyone before hand but at least it gives me something to do

 

[nobody554]

The most exciting thing happening to me right now is my domain admin account is being locked out every 2 minutes ... I'm going to leave it for a while to see who or what complains.

Yes. I really want the day to be over. Tonight the girlfriend and I are going to hunker down with some pizza, a bottle of red, and have a Twin Peaks marathon and am so looking forward to it.

[x-alki]

Not really, I dropped a $10,000 boat....ooops.

 

[StrangeRanger]

I even came in late today hoping that would help create a bit of back log. But alas, nope. I'm bored out of my skull actually looking for something to work on. My boss is out until Tuesday too. Yawn.

Nice euphemism

I just want to go home and sleep

I started the weekend festivities a night early, and am paying for it.

I can't imagine being out of work and reading this thread... I'd want to strangle each and every one of you.

Today was kind of slow though...

I've been informed of - and subsequently resolved - more user profile errors in the last two days, than I have in the last two *years*. Almost entirely because of a contractor failing to implement a certain group policy, because "you're doing it wrong". No, nitwit, we're not. You are.
