why IT-staff shouldn’t do IT-stuff all the time

As I’m sharing my apartment with some distinct specimen from the IT-crowd I must really stress the fact that there has do be done something to fight the stereotypes associated with our profession.
It drives me crazy to see young people sitting for 2 months straight on the same spot on the couch and stare at what they already stared at work for 8 hours.
I’m far from a prime example anybody should follow, what I want to achieve with this cry out, is to hopefully annoy those addressed, make them reflect on themselves and remind myself never to let it come this far.

Today, the first thing we had to do is cleaning the work area, because Joe expected some new customers, who are very interested in the recycling equipment and procedure. After tidying up, the others came back to work. That means to build up dell-computer.

Meanwhile I created a new flash-animation for “CompDoc”. “CompDoc” is the new name of the company “ComputerDoctor”. In the animation you can see the word “COMPDOC” and this word is underlined with small ECG line, which should simulate the little heartbeats of the company. That looks very cool and it’s funny. All in all it is very nice and I guess Peter likes it.

On Wednesday we tinkered some custom mice for the company. Actually it is only a cut of the USB cable in a smaller length, so that the USB cable doesn’t lay around and interfers the user. After the cut we solder back the cable on the chip.

ComputerDoctor with JJ, Dustin and me. Philip and Brain were on their way to a customer, because of some problems with the DNS service.

JJ, Dustin and Me watched Mark during the troubleshooting of laptops. That is often funny to watch Mark, because his hands tremble very strong and he usually needs a little longer to screw the screws back.

Otherwise, we replaced a small LCD display and a searched for an IP Network Camera on the internet.

Not really exciting but sometimes you have to do this.

Eurovison Song Contest

After the tour with my father, I wanted to go home and relax.

But things never turn out the way you expect. In my apartment was a „party“. Some friends (17) from my flatmate were in our apartment and all together watched the eurovison song contest. In our apartment were a lot of people from diffrent countries: norway,sweden, finland, america, ireland and germany. So it was a lot of fun and we had to cheer on many performers.

My flatmates were suprise by the 17 guest. But this partys are the best partys.

And the moral of the story was … I couldn´t relax the evening.
