anyone interested in a tedious project?

[Omega]

My schedule is cool. I work the night shift. 7pm - 7am. We're staffed 24/7/365. We work 2 on 2 off, 3 on 2 off, 2 on 3 off. Basically, in 2 weeks, I work all 7 days, but I have a total of 7 days off. This job would be nearly impossible without multiple monitors.

You... You work at a dispatching center don't you?


I know somebody who works at a dispatching center just 9mi north of my house, it's the center for all of the west coast and a few east coast states too. It's always staffed as well.

Kinda, but not really.. We only call techs out when our controllers decide that the system that's down is critical. I'm in the Systems Network Operation Center (SNOC). Basically, anything that's connected to the network gets monitored via HP Openview, and if something is wrong, it sends us alarms. It can be something as simple as a disk bottleneck or time synch, to a service affecting outage.

OTOH..
The list is done. I just have to figure out a way to get it posted so that way it's actually viewable here. It's not liking the HTML code right now.. I'll work on it more tonight.

Ok.. it's MUCH quieter here tonight. Last night was pretty much hell with the storms rolling across the East Coast. Here starts the list.

Hey, do I sense a Sticky thread?
Maybe SgtM can start up a new thread, with another title, and we can sticky that up at the top of the appropiate forum?
