I dunno how this ever worked out, but I’m kinda excited (again) about my job. Recently it had been getting a bit boring with the same old “user says this is broken and thinks is our fault, but in reality is someone else’s fault (and someone else’s job to fix)” type work… I had been a receptionist for technical problems “thank you for calling, what kind of problem are you reporting? oh really? that’s probably X’s issue, one second and i’ll transfer the ticket to them”. But Friday, that changed again (slightly). I still do the above items and I’m still doing some other frustrating work.. but I also just had a project approved that I wanted to do. The project opens doors for automating MANY things in the department and also will bring some previous projects of mine back to life and give me some fun things to work on and program.
Let the fun begin.
Oh, and as far as new tech projects (bad segue here…), for those of us *not* anal enough to create custom webpage-pollers to tell when our friends update their pages, if you’re bored you may want to add http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ to your “ping” mechanism on your blog so that my blog gets notified when you update.
Then again, I seem to be anal enough on my own to just brute force it and reload everyones blogs 5000 times daily. Anyhew, pingomatic.com has the lowdown if joor interested
