Job
I started this job almost 3 years ago. I did quit, not really quit but just took a rest for a while, for 1 year, then here I’m here again, with the same job, same environment.
Somebody says that It is not a real job, it just a part time job. Okay, you can say so, but for me it is a real job, a job that needs responsibility. It makes me realize that to work is not so easy, I have to deal with many things from not-so-pleasant things to very-annoying-things
.
Then why I decided to take this job anyway ? Hmm…honestly, I thought It was cool to have a part time job, I could earn some money, making friends, enjoying life, and the more important things is I can enjoy my hobby, that is computer network.
I met computer world actually since I was in the secondary school. My father bought me a computer. It was IBM PC with MS-DOS operating system. I didn’t know anything about computer before and I didn’t have any resource or document about my computer. I just thought the device was very cool. I could play games on it, I could write a letter, and sure I did wrote my love letter,it was my 1st love letter
, using WordStar. It wasn’t latest technology at that time, because It was around 1997/1998
.
That was a little history about computer and myself.
Back to my job. This noon, I went to my office to check the cabling to one of the room in my office. I needed to put another UTP because one computer was being moved. The thing is I had to put it on the plasterboard so I had to went upstairs with many unshielded electricity cable allover it. I had to be careful because of that. God, I sweat much ! Not only because the upstairs was quite hot but also it was dark so I really needed to be careful. It took about 30 minutes to put the cable. After that, I was wondering why this was quite dangerous. It shouldn’t be like that ! I think it was because no good plan when build this office. Maybe they didn’t think about capacity planning that include electricity, Internet cabling, and so on. So every time they need to put a cable, whatever the cable for, they just put it without any consideration regarding scalability of it in the future. The scalability I mention here, of course, also includes safety. That, I think, why this world needs engineers!
Geezz…surely I think I will remember this day in the future!
