Lab Rat

So I have been at work the last couple of days. Given that I have 1 active case at the moment and the customer is on leave for the next couple of weeks, my boss decided that it was time to develop the team and do some lab work configurations.

I'm a broadband enginner in a support role. The problem with support is that you only get involved when the network goes pear shaped, and event then the fault is usually software or hardware bugs. It's very rare that we actually get to play with the equipment and set up an end to end connection.

I had a late night last night and was very tired today, to the point that my boss offered to send me home early. I refused as I enjoy lab work and I felt like I was learning, Nonetheless, I certainly wasn't at my productive best and it was alot of fun. We managed to get a user connected and almost had him connet to the internet but our knowledge exhausted itself at the final hurdle. Hopefully we will be able to finish it off on Monday.

I really enjoyed today, just a pity that I was so darn tired.
