Work, work, work

This time Townsville was all about work.
When I got there the server I was supposed to work on was in a state of decomposition. I mean it almost seemed that the IT service provider did this on purpose.

Having fixed that the IT-service provider basically stole all my credit stating: yep, we've fixed it, and asked for money to my client. What a bunch of fucking leeches. I can only say:
Outsourced IT = very, very, veeeery bad idea.

I had seen this before but... fucking hell, never this bad. It's like they're doing this on purpose: slow network, old computers, no access to anything, not understandable IT-helpdesk based in Pakistan.

Aw, well, I fixed it, installed it and got ready to deliver an admin training: I really like administrators, they're intelligent and I speak their language.
But right before I went to my hotel for a well deserved evening a manager came up to me and said: "you'll be giving a presentation on how to implement this from a Business Process Analyst's perspective". Before I could say: "NO, I don't wanna, fuck off", he added, the CEO would be attending so they expected great things.
Right, there goes my evening, night and morning. Who needs sleep anyway.
So Monday night (don't forget I got up really early to get the first flight to Townsville) I worked till very late to get this presentation ready.

The next few days were a mix of configuration, presentation, meetings and documentation. Really no time to sleep or eat.

I'll be back because they loved me. But next time I'll go a little easier.
