Super Support Girl Saves the Day Again

Sleep attack plus ten knocks SSG out for next 3 stages. Survival now pinned on Base to provide remote support. Request S to ship me in some hi-tech matchstick eye-open supports, or all hope lost.

Fascinating as Administering Packages From the Command Line is, it is not handsome enough to tempt me. A 6 hour long battle and the aftermath is not pretty. Still, now I know how to install Solaris 10, which I think should help me defeat the boss in endgame!

I used to think I got a bit loony when I didn't sleep enough. You take the cake. :)

I used to get really loopy after about 3 weeks consecutive oncall as an SSE for Sun Australia. Finally I gave up the oncall work for customer land. It took about 4 weeks of regular sleep not to wake up at the slightest noise thinking my pager went off. At one stage I could wake up with the pager on vibrate only and being on the bedside table. The quiet "brrrrr" was enough to wake me up. Now I know the slumber of the customer. *ahhh* 8 - 10 hour uninterrupted nights.

Well do I remember the days of backline on-call support. I started doing it while my twins were still under 1. I figured, since I'm up, I might as well get paid for it. ;)

The downside now is that I am fully awake within the first ring of my mobile. This would be ok if folks in other geos checked out local time before ringing me at 3am. Sigh.

Keep up teh blogging Emma. I like your writing style. Simon and Jonathan are right, we need more people blogging like you do. Adding you to my blogroll ;) You're already in my RSS reader.
