Is anyone else a "Maytag Repairman?" My job can be SOOOO boring at times! I'm a PC Hardware Tech for a company in Tulsa, OK (Corporate
Information Technologies.) We have a maintenance contract with Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, where I live. All I am supposed to be doing
is hardware related calls. I can't so much as load TR drivers for the TokenRing network the Univ has. 'Bout all I can do is sit and wait for something to
break. My boss drove down from Tulsa one day un-anounced. I was sitting at my monitor on the internet staring at 4 pictures of Garfield trying to find the
twins. My boss just laughed, pointed at his choices and said "I think it's these two." He told me not to worry. That's what they want me to do. If I'm doing
that stuff I'm not ordering replacement parts. Since it's a maintenance contract, NSU pays CIT a yearly "fee" and CIT uses that to buy the parts I need.
Whatever is left at the end of the fiscal is CIT's profit on that contract for the year. The less I order, the more CIT makes. I get *so* bored sometimes.
Anyone else like that? Or am I the only "lucky" one here?
