The life of an IT Guy

[i_love_fft@jlai.lu]

To me, the last panel is when backpack traveling and sleeping in a hostel in Europe.

[7dev7random7@suppo.fi]

One can travel the world but only got a backpack.. Quite offensive then

[passerby6497@lemmy.world]

I'd rather hook into Wi-Fi/hotspot and work without making my whole family leave or be stranded somewhere just because I got a call.

[passerby6497@lemmy.world]

on-call standby pay, and on-call pay.

I've only had one place that gave me any kind of stipend to be on call, everywhere else just expects it as part of the job description with no added benefit.

[quafeinum@lemmy.world]

Well they dont know how long it takes to fix stuff, so I shall do it whenever I feel like it eventually.

“Yeah sorry someone upstream broke the interconnect compiler to our computation fabric, I send a patch and have to wait for the developer to merge it”

[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?
