The life of an IT Guy

[frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe]

Wow what a dick taking up two spots on the train

[quafeinum@lemmy.world]

Oh god. We had to be within one hour of the data center so that we could sit next to the broken hardware that we were not able to fix at 3 am anyway because fuck you.

[morrowind@lemmy.ml]

It's empty

[bitwolf@sh.itjust.works]

Wow this is so me (except I keep my bag between my legs when sitting).

Everyone knew me for having my "bag full of tricks" and a laptop all the time.

[honytawk@lemmy.zip]

An empty bag? That's even worse!

[theangryseal@lemmy.world]

My god I don’t miss that life.

I’m a stay at home dad now and sometimes they drive me crazy (right now actually. If I could kick the dogs out it would probably make my life easier. FUCK YOU MR. PISS ON THE FLOOR!).

Even when they drive me so crazy I feel like I’m about to have an aneurysm, life is easy mode compared to IT.

My Computer, Computer, and This PC ain’t my goddamn problem anymore. Woooooohooooooo!

[greenknight23@lemmy.world]

I've been "on call" for over a decade.

If I go anywhere more than walking distance I take a laptop.

yeah it's shitty, but other than the CEO I'll be the last person to lose my job.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

I feel seen, except it's a threesome with my wife.

[michael_palmer@lemmy.sdf.org]

I only change my backpack when things start falling out of it.

[birch@sh.itjust.works]

He was refering to the dick

[baldmangoomba@lemmy.world]

Not laws in the USA. Only some states...maybe if you arent salary

[pfm@scribe.disroot.org]

Wait, you're married to two wives and have a threesome with them? I'm not following...

[pfm@scribe.disroot.org]

Exactly. And it's rarely about electronic gadgets - I carry a first aid kit, a pen knife and more.

[tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de]

I assume wife, bag and our fellow it guy.

[racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml]

What do you suggest, huh? Letting his love sit on top of his crotch when he's on a bus?

[mystikincarnate@lemmy.ca]

I generally do the same. It doesn't have to be my work laptop, mind you, just a laptop. Usually my personal laptop.

As long as it's in a reasonable walking distance from me, I'm good. Eg. If I go out for dinner, I'll toss my bag in the car and I'll leave it in the car unless I get a page.

[syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de]

This just looks like the average Norwegian

[agent641@lemmy.world]

I spent a decade on call.

The last few years, they would call and call and call...

I wouldn't answer though

[agent641@lemmy.world]

Hoodie, scarf, and a 3D printed gun.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

It's me, my wife, and the support laptop
