So I was submitted for a phone support hell desk job the other week. Not too happy about that. Yesterday i had the phone interview. Ugh. Surprise, surprise, i did well enough on the phone to get an in person interview tomorrow. In theory i should be happy but i'm not. I DON'T DO PHONE SUPPORT! I'm going to potentially sign on to do 3+ months of something that is tedious, boring, and a waste of my time. Yeah i'll get paid but it's literally a step backwards for me.
I knew this would happen. I've now got my interview routine down well enough that it's hard to not consider me for a position that i interview for. Problem is, there haven't been any interviews lately. I'm genuinely hoping i don't get this one and i think i will anyways. Funny how the world works that way....
The other night at work i saw our maintenance people swap a hard drive from the computer that runs one of our machines. A Quantum Fireball 4gb drive!!! How much older do you need to get? They've got some hack telling maintenance that it's a HD problem when the computer can't recognize the machine. Nice. Meantime i wasn't allowed to touch the computer. All i could do was watch some obese maintenance guy fumble with how to swap a drive.
Next week i'm going to be the "on-call" guy for my friends business. That means any service calls that pop up, i get all for myself and i get to make lots of $$$ on the side. Finally, i'll have a challenge! The boredom has been painful lately and i can't wait to actually do what i'm good at for once.
That brings me back to the phone gig. Password resets and basic troubleshooting. Yeah. That sounds like punishment for me.
Stay tuned....
