<div class="IPBDescription">Today is the most boring day of the week for me...</div>I'm workign on a contract at IBM. Currently workign this weekend (work 2 weekends per month). I always do 12 hours shifts, switching every week between day and night shifts. I always do 12 hours shifts.
Today is the most quiet day of the week from a production point of view. So it is very boring. I have 4 screens plugged into a 512mb PC running something like 20 monitoring tools at the same time. I do operation monitoring (call appropriate support for error messages poping up). Today, I have less to monitor as some systems are down due to special upgrades.
Usualy on a Sunday, we have about 3 hours of work spreaded out in a 12 hours shift. Our PCs are being used to their limits because of all the software needed for work and because they are low brand, low memory types of PCs (IBM brands at an IBM operation center, go figure !). Our DVD drives have been disabled but not the Internet access (go figure again). As a contractor, I have no access to courses. So for passing time, I have access only to Internet. We have a few links to watch movies but I prefer watching anims.
So today my work day is going to be a bit more boring then usual !!! Kinda makes me want to retire now !
Anyone having the same kind of situation ?
