Dont you already have your hands full rebuilding record setting RC cars? That was so awful man. I cringed when I watched it.

Isnt it like 250.00 though?

Well I took probably a total of 30 calls from Monday of last week to yesterday. We are staffed 24/7 through the week so the calls did not start until Friday evening. I guess not a bad ratio really.

I definitly do not want a wire running to the xbox. I may just have to stick with the cheapies also.

No low end Helpdesk Job here. I have been doing this stuff for 13 years bro. I actually took time off from IT to go to the Police Academy years ago. After I got out of the academy and seen what cops really get paid I laughed and chalked up that 6 months of my life to experience and went back to IT :)

We have a laptop and BB that we rotate for the on call. Our company policy does not allow any non company owned equipment to touch our network.

The router and modem are 1 unit so no there was no ethernet cable.

I have bought all of my jewlery from a mom and pop shop, but they have been in business for 40 years and I get all my maintenance and repairs done for free.

How the fuck is that a PROFIT???? Sounds more like breaking even to me. Jesus good lord in heaven Phil. WTF?????

Yes indeed my seafairing friend. Im gonna plug that blow hole to give me a little extra advantage.

Do the wired headsets hook up to the controllers like the ones that come with the xbox or do they run all the way to the xbox itself?

So I am in the market for a decent headset for the xbox but I don't have any experience with them. Does anyone have any recomendations? I dont really wanna spend 200 on a headset though.

I think the ole LT1 has enough in it to deal with Moby Dick . Once I fix my clutch and tire situation.

I am going whaling in 2012.

I crack up with all the people who have these easy solutions. I have a 10 min callback time, I had no network cable, I was at a relatives who doesnt have a clue what they even have. Do you honestly think I would have driven in to the office if the solution were that easy????? I could have tethered in using my phone but by the time it would have taken me to set that up on my work laptop and then connect to VPN and then RDP in to my machine at work, my signal would have been garbage and it would have taken me 30 min just to get signed in. And yes, yes I was bitching about something that I signed up for.

Im in the office right now. I was on call this weekend and had to come in to the office during Christmas Dinner with the fam. I also have to work Monday but I get paid Holiday pay plus time and a half tomorrow. On top of my on call money and my 6 hours of OT this past week, should make for a fat ass paycheck.

I did speak with her before I came in to work and she was freaking out about how she needed it right away. I said but you just told me 8pm. She says well thats when I go on call and Ill need it then. I say ok can I do it when I get home around 7:30? Oh no no no. I can just see how it would have went if I told her no. I would have certainly heard about it on Tuesday. I mean all in all I get paid extra for being on call and REALLY extra for doing it during a holiday so I guess I kinda had it in the back of my mind that this was a possibility. I guess I was just hoping that it wouldnt. And since I have been here I have recieved 3 more call. NONE of which were emergencies HA HA HA.

The wife and I didnt exchange gifts this year so we could buy some extra for the kids this year. Having 5 kids comes with some sacrifices that we dont mind making. Mom got me some hand tools from jegs, sockets and stuff, a fender cover and a pretty sweet cordless drop light. http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/55580096.jpg In Laws got me a nice fat gift card to Jegs.

So I am on call this weekend and its had its ups and downs so far but oh well it comes with the territory. So I am at the in laws in Dublin opening presents and my on call phone rings. So I break out the laptop and can't get connected to their wireless because they dont remember the password. REALLY????? I told the wife to check on this for me last week so I could be prepared and bring an Air card if I needed to. She tells me everything is good to go. So I dont check out an air card for the weekend, I know my fault. Well anyways while the rest of the family is eating Christmas dinner, I am typing this from my computer at work. It amazes me what people think an emergency is. Out of the 20 plus calls I have taken from our EMERGENCY on call phone, not a single one of them has been any kind of emergency. I really had to come in here for a password reset that the user does not even need until 8pm tonight. And she knew I had to drive in to work for this because I called her. She just could not wait. I guess the best part is she didnt have any security information on file so no password reset for you lady.

Dont make me break out the 5th scale. http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg203/jallen_100/2011-05-02111015.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg203/jallen_100/2011-05-02110959.jpg HA HA You guys are almost double my top speed.

FAAAAAAAHHHHQQQQQQQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent a lot on my wifes ring but I did that because I wanted to. She never expected anything like what I bought her and she is proud as hell of that ring. Either way I feel that she has earned it to say the least. And thats why I drive an LT1 so FUCK OFF .
