Journal Celt's Journal: Going to start posting again 2
The ranting starts again...
Well its been awhile but I think I should really start posting here again.
Things are going fine, still with my girlfriend almost 15 months now things are going ok but at times I feel something is a miss but then I've only got that feeling lately.
Maybe I'm just going though a phase at the moment??.
When I think back on how I was two years ago and then look at myself now, I think "your never happy" hmm well this subject is for another journal entry I think...
Works going fine, as always the customers wreak my head every second day or so, but atleast I got a pay raise as I've been working for the company for over a year.
Did overtime this week, working 12 hour shifts instead of the normal 8.5 hour shifts, I was half dead when it came to Friday and to make things worse I'm doing a parttime Novell/Linux network course in the local technical college so I had to be at the course on Saturday morning @ 10.00am...I was late.
Also at work I've put in a application for two new positions, I was truned down on one of them and I'm still waiting on a Interview for the new position.
Unfortunatly the new position has somewhat crazy hours and my girlfriends far from happy about it.
Hours work as follows:
6 months of 10pm - 8am for 4 days a week
6 months of day shift 5 days a week
There's around a 100 difference for each pay-cheque with the new job and another excellent point is I don't have to talk to the bloody customers anymore........well... don't get me wrong I don't hate all customers just the stuipid one's which there happens to be alot of.
Rarely do I talk to a customer who can install a DSL/Cable modem using device mgr.
On the other end of the scales we get the odd muppet who wants us to support Linux, all I can say to that is NO FECKEN WAY!
All we need to happen is some n00b to download Mandrake and want us to support our modems on it, I can just imagine the questions we have to ask.
"So do you have the latest Kernel?" and " do you have the latest version of KDE?"
It would be a support nightmare, don't these people have a brain in there skull?
On the subject of Linux I'm moving my server over to SuSE 9.0 Pro as I'm sick to death of windows I'm also working on changing my desktop over to SuSE as well once I find some more programs I need.
Linux and DSL (Score:1)
Well, not wanting to sound elitist, but a person calling for support for Linux has no business even near Linux. If you install Linux you *know* that your on your own. "on your own" in this case means: google, newsgroups and HOW-TO's. Heck, I even have this feeling for any computer: I refuse to call support before I haven't tried out all possibilities. This means that I only had

Yes its meaningless even if thats established but knowin gthe company it would be a lovely GUI install.
I won't get into the whole issue about getting a DSL modem/cable modem working with Linux but lets just say its hard to make a connection...
