After I've picked up my dosimeter on my way through the badge room. I mosey over to my building and try to make it into my office without getting spotted by a user that wants something changed on their machine but refuses to call the helldesk in Poland, I can't blame them however. After dodging any bullets making it into my office I check the tapes, make sure the as/400 is purring along like she should to avoid lengthy calls with the "server admin" team in India. Once all systems are go, check the e-mail and voicemail, grab a coffee, read slashdot, see what the bofh is up too and then call it a day. While on the way to my car everyday I pray to the techno-gods that some sev1 issue does not wake me from my sleep at some ungodly hour requiring me to spend 17 and a half hours baby sitting the server admins in India while they try to rebuild an exchange server remotely. Sleeping on the floor of the server room was an expereince I will never forget and don't really recomend to the faint hearted. You really have to love your machines to go that extra mile, go team outsourcing.
