omg, worst day ever. everything that could go wrong, did. ok occasionally my job can be what I consider physically demanding. holding servers, switches, upss while i rack them. it doesn't sound like a lot but holding with one hand, while screwing with another, the weight of the device gets really heavy. every bad thing that could happen did, every screw on old equipment stripped, half my parts didnt arrive so i had to reuse old ones, just a bad bad day. on 4 occasions I had to suck it up and grab random men to help me because I just couldn't physically do it. though one of my issues, none of the men could either, so i had rig up some stupid shit. i am cursing, kicking shit, just so frustrated the whole time
just so so bad. finally, I am done, leave the secure area, and I get a call. it was actually a call from a group of people (I heard at least 4 people I know the voice of, all not local, 2 different states). They called to let me know I forgot to reconnect a security touchpad panel (I totally did) and then when i go to do it (i had thought they still saw it alarming) they tell me to waive at the camera, laughing hysterically. idk, guess they set up a conference and were watching me work on the security camera that was 10 feet away, that I didn't even notice. so so mean as it was just so so bad, took me hours longer than it should and just so much struggling with every rack, every mount, every screw. I like to pretend sometimes that I am not at a disadvantage but oh god the upper body strength thing really is such a disadvantage.
