What Are You Doing Right Now

Wishing I was in another job.
Me: Can you reboot the router and see if that brings your connection back?
Store: We don't have a router
Me: Yes you do as you connect to HO via a MPLS
Store: I can't see any boxes with lights, but can see Netgear Switch with 4 cables.
Me: OK follow those cables one will go to the router
Store: they go under the desk somewhere
Me: yes but at the end will to devices, one will be a router
Store: Can't find it we have no box
..........................................................No I'm not driving 2hrs to the store to find it and reboot it!!!!!
Bad mood now!
Biggest issue with this is - they have rebooted the router in the past! the MPLS has been there for 3 years and all stores have rebooted at least 4/5 times! -

It is important that you show the untamed User who is boss.

Well, that is at least better than ending up in a closet, everyone least bothered about you and just use you to be yelled at when there is an issue and only then you exist in this world! Its not that giving up my personal time for a 40" TV and surely i havent worked hard for that either. It feels good that some of this has been seen by the management and they show it some way and give you something as a token of appreciation. Who doesnt want to get something like that!

The prep work it takes for me to go on vacation almost makes it not even worth it. Ugh.
