Nothing is going fine!

Well i suppose this is not the last grunt that you will hear from me about work :p Well who doesn't have problems at work?

The process to upgrade our servers have begun to pave way for a new system BUT everything is not ideal and the users are pushing for some ridiculous deadlines. Well not to say that we MUST make on time which we usually do not LOL, but its kinda really stupid when the same user is repetitively asking the same question over and over and over again. Not via phone call but email cc to your boss. Luckily for me, my boss is a person whom you loved to work with, he knows our situation and of course try to help us get through the issues.

You can't even have a peaceful leave, somebody knows about bits and parts of the system more than others and therefore when that knowledge is needed during you leave, they will call you. For those who have gone through this you will know that its quite hard to explain to someone who is not familiar with the system to guide them to do what is required. But its just an "au huit" (direct translation from Cantonese : vomit blood), when trying to explain to user who is not so computer literate to do a trace route (tracert) because they can't access a certain part of the system as its located on another box (server).

Nothing seems to go well for my team here. Everytime we need to get something done, there is a great hurdle in front of us, be it a very high great wall which we need to find a way to overcome it, or a valley so wide that you can't even see the other side. My future seems bleak as what im doing is similar to what firefighters do, to rescue when there is trouble. There are more fires than our water cans.

Sigh, is there no light at the end of this tunnel? *squeezes the life out of my earth*
