Work Daemons:

Today was quite a big day at work….offfff, and will remember this day for ever. In my 1.5 yrs of career never had a day like this… Today I felt the real pressure of a support engineer’s work…
The day started as normal but bit earlier than ever had to go to a place called “Charlestown” (Customer site) which is 160km from my place have to be there by 7am so started around 4.30am from home the drive was so fabulous n-joyed the silence, the nature … After 2hrs of journey reached there around 6.30am, in the midst of nature watching forgot to refuel my car, there goes the alarm had to find a service station, toyed with my navman (GPS Navigator) for a while and got one station with was 500m from where I was standing; lucky me refueled and back in time to work. Now starts my bad timing, one can say that way; one by one every other computer stuff goes down starts from UPS then goes the Server1 then server 2 so on so forth, this is the first time ever such disaster occurred, called my superior they were puzzled, alone at customer site I was stuck and the “drivers team” who usually manage these equipments were helping me thro’ phone. Some how got one server up and running and eventually everything started to work then came the 2nd attack there goes the 3rd server and subsequent systems… finally around 12.30pm with the help of drivers team everything was up and running smooth, from morning 7.00am to noon I was running as if I had fire under my feet… luckily the site manager was very patient, friendly and helpfull. At the end of this drama I was so tired and drained just wanted to be home, then remembered that I didn’t eat or drink anything since morning and started to hunt for some veggie food…
