The world in your hands

So today is Saturday, college game day starts right about now.  I am sitting at my local pub with my laptop watching as I start to plan the day.  The waitress comes over to my table and looks extremely confused, I don't blame her... There is a reason to my madness.  I do not own a TV, I watch all my TV on my laptop connected to a larger monitor, however due to the shortcomings of my landlord my room was about 45-50 degrees today with my personal heater on.  This made for some rather brisk conditions couple that with the fact that we do have a 60inch High definition television in the lounge but my roommate Jenny is watching 13 going on 30 and will not agree to change the channel I was forced to resort to slightly desperate methods.  At least here at the pub by securing my seat early I can order brunch and know that it is fresh... Eat at my own pace and type away at my blog.

Who wakes up to watch college game day anyway?  Well I do, reason is in a few hours I have to get to the office so at least if I can get the predictions and so forth then I can at least sort of know what is going on.  Although I work for a help desk and my work revolves around helping the people in the office lately with all the upgrades we are going through it has become necessary to be in the office when it is empty.  I work faster and I am not distracted by side chit chat or users that are to busy to let me inspect their stations.  It is also important for me to be able to go through each computer and make sure that it will be in perfect working condition by Monday and by the time the user comes in the only difference they notice is the computer is faster.  That's the tough thing about IT you have to be passionate about what you do or else your job will royally suck, I have a little bit of passion so it works out well.

There is a certain satisfying feeling when you get done with all your hard work on the weekend.  Not to sound cocky or anything but you definitely feel like some sort of a God.. Your little IT world is in your hands and you control each and every single heartbeat what goes on and what does not...and even though people do not come to you every day, they secretly have faith in you and what you can do.  They need you...
