First a little background. At my work, there’s 4 platforms that need to be worked every day: keep an eye on the network that runs on Clarent equipment, keep an eye on what’s run by the 3Com equipment, go through open trouble tickets and fix what you can, and do testing of the new augment network that goes with the 3Com equipment. Now then:
Louie you ignorant fuck. You were hired on to be the Tier 2 support for my group even though your knowledge of what we do here is as extensive as my knowledge of the mating habits of the duckbilled platypus. I don’t blame you for that as much as the cumcicles that hired you, Mr. Gump, but holy fuck! Stop coming to me with everything that needs to be done!
Yes, I was invloved on the ground floor when we first brought this new network up.
Yes, I was one of two people who did all the initial testing for the original network (the other guy has been recently promoted).
Yes, I know how to do what you’re asking better than 80% of the techs here.
When I’m scheduled to work augment, I do it cuz that’s my job for the night. But when I’m scheduled to work trouble tickets, you still come to me with augment work to be done. I do it, since no one else on my shift knows how and most trouble tickets can only be worked during regular workday hours anyway (I work 4-midnight). Now I’m scheduled to work the original 3Com network - the network that actually is working - and you’re still coming to me with augment stuff although there’s two guys scheduled to work tickets tonight! Look around, there’s 4 people working tonight! You had to pass two of them to get to my desk!
I can’t watch the network we have up and running, field phone calls about trouble with that network, work troubles that show up on the alarm browser for that network, and run scripts, test calls, create spreadsheets, send update e-mails, and whatever else needs to be done for the augment part of that network which isn’t even operational yet!
Now if I let the original network slide and troubles come up, I’ll be on the spot tomorrow for not catching them and correcting them in time (for those who don’t know, if something happens to a piece of our network there is a likely possibility that an entire city can be without long distance phone service - cities like Dallas or Miami including the surrounding suburbs - even entire states can go down). That would be bad. But if I focus on the running network and ignore the augment crap you’ve handed me, then I’m on the spot tomorrow for the new project being another day behind schedule because I didn’t run any of the tests that need to be run.
What are you going to do when I go on vacation? What about when I have days off in the middle of the week? I’m off Thursday and Friday this week, who will work the augment issues then? It better not be sitting and backlogged for me when I show up again on Monday. Teach someone else to do this! I would teach them, but I’m too busy handling all the shit you keep putting on my desk.
Now, just to vent my spleen and get this pressure off my chest:
FUCK YOU! You stupid shit-licking, fart-tasting, sloth humper! May your penis panifully twist in knots so you contstantly piss in your own face! May your scrotum sag so low you kick yourself in the balls with each step you take!
Now I’m off to send an email to my supervisor, saying the same thing, but in nicer terms.
