Don’t you sometimes get sick of all the technology?? I know that it’s not good feeling this way about something I work in! But sometimes I feel if anyone asks me another tech question or another problem happens, I am going to do something drastic!!

I hate the fact that I notice technology everywhere I go, that K-net machines in shops now are connected both ways, some through shop’s LAN and others through GPRS then thinking good … redundancy … just in case something happens to the Internet connection you have another way!! These kind of things annoy me now

I’m not a geek and I’ll never be. But I do enjoy trying new stuff and exploring and reading technology even if I don’t understand it!

If I could choose another thing what would it be? I remember having a shot at being a programmer but I chose not to. So what if I went down that path, how would I be today??

OK, now let’s say I have the chance to change what would I be?

Well I am good in math, I’d solve problems in my spare time and always looked forward for the test, I loved genetics in biology, I like reading novels

And sometimes I fantasize about being an archaeologist or even a stunt person. I was saying that the other day, I think I would make a great stunt woman, that is if I didn’t die from the first attempt, I’d jump off the building and then remember I forgot my safety line or parachute! Get things bumping, in my line of work, your heart races because of problems and after a while you get sick of them. It’s just that I am the end user, I don’t get to decide or develop new things

A problem happens, troubleshoot, find the cause, solve the problem

Sometimes I’m so fed up that I just cut and paste, in a zombie like way. My professionalism is decreasing

The other day I downloaded a firmware upgrade to our mail filter and installed it directly after taking out data reports. After restarting, errors kept popping, files not found … usual bullshit and “aham shay” is I didn’t take backup of the configuration and we just formatted the damn thing. Because “makan lee khilq” I signed off and back in and everything was working normal and then I took a backup. See problems don’t make sense and are solved in a senseless way by themselves!!!

I think this is a broken record. My brothers, I don’t know how to put it, killed the PC again! So they told me three weeks back and still I didn’t look into it because I know, most probably it’s the power module and I have to go to Hawali

They just call me, this is not working, this message popped up, my brother even called me at work saying our DSL line is down!!! -ya3nee ana shino asawee min el-dawam- and I did solve it for him over the phone, more the reason for him to call back in the future

Maybe I’ll open a childcare center, or a restaurant, coffeeshop, or a shop of any kind. Maybe I’ll learn a handcraft, earn a living with my hands, maybe make furnitures or something … I dunno .. useless thoughts

Maybe I’m one of those people, who can’t do one thing for a long time, I have to shift from one thing to another. You know that kind that gets bored all the time, or maybe I am just in the wrong business

Or simply … I’m just sick of technology …
