Mostly just try to stay awake and play on the internet... Oh! officially??? Computer operations. Babysit the network and watch backups run, that kind of stuff.

:thumbsup: Too cool! I used to work for Intel Internet Media Services as a Broadcast Operations Analyst. My job was to fix any network or server problems when they occured, so for about 11 1/2 hours per night, I had to try and keep myself awake, too. One nice thing is that we had unlimited free access to our own espresso machine! We had to pay for the pinball machine, though. It was a great job until Intel decided that the profit margin wasn't as fat as projected, and proceded to lay off the whole department. I'm not bitter about that or anything though. ;)

No offense, but unless there is a crash, that kind of sounds boring. It's an important job, but I'll be the system is a well oiled machine under you and never crashes.

For James:

netgenius said she couldn't remember the advantage to drinking 2-3 cups of coffee per day. She couldn't remember if it helped to stave off alzheimers. That's when I insinuated that she didn't get her 2-3 cups per day. (becuse she could be showing signs of alzheimers... because she couldn't remember...)


I knew that caffeine could dehydrate you. I learned that in High School Concert Choir. It isn't great for your voice. I also knew it could make you retain as much as five pounds of water weight. (Alcohol also can dehydrate you) I thought there were some really discusting facts to learn. :)

Nah we have lots of stuff go wrong. Last week one of our CPUs on a production UNIX database fried... lots of fun. :D We have duties that we do through the night, they just don't take very long so there is lots of time to surf the net or whatever.
