Your desk is way too clean and you are doing too few things at once

not even us IT folks can avoid the dreaded windows updates forever. sure you can run Linux but at some point you are gonna have to deal with a windows machine

Your setup should be made of a server that has failed and you replaced it and fixed it later, 6 sets of Philips screws, notes with drawings on them, a half-dissected HP laptop behind your monitor that you said you would fix but the client got a new one anyway, a box with USB sticks with labels, and a keyboard with breadcrumbs in it.

You’re missing the part where you grabbed the wrong fan and still trying to make it fit.

Facts on the waiting. Yeah, your desk is way too clean. It’s a struggle for me to keep mine clean. As soon as I get it clean, here comes another laptop or some desktop I have to take apart, troubleshoot, or reimage, then the tickets and emails. In fact, I cleaned my desk today, and it will get crazy again

I don’t know, once you’ve cracked open enough servers, that gets pretty boring. I enjoy the cloud admin side more than anything now.

I’m in the basement of a data centre wiring up switchboards, it’s 44c and dank. It’s 20 minutes to knock off and this shit is why I went back to school for that IT degree
