Well I suppose you could say i've been busy trying to get units squared away. We got tasked last week to push and update to all machines to include the hospital and aid stations. S6 helped me last weekend to get the hospital done, they're really good at at helping out and taking care of their computers. Most S6 i've heard out here don't want to touch or use the machines. We should be able to finish up by the end of this week i'm hoping. I've been given two new Areas Of Responsibility at some remote sights. It's going to suck getting a flights out there. Hopefully I won't get stuck out there, luckily my coworker is going with me. The way things are going it might be 2-4 weeks before I can get out there. Then there was units coming and going... trying to get them set up. I go do site visits and that's when the units tell me somethings wrong, they don't call. I ask how long it's been broke and sometimes I get an answer like a week or couple days. Mmmmmmmmm.
I started doing EA Active More workouts game for the Wii about 3 weeks ago. Thats one heck of a game and kicks my ass. My goal weight it 125. The first week I weighed 153, second week 151, this week 149. If I continue strength training I know that weight won't matter to much because muscle weighs more than fat. I need to find a measuring tape they use for fitting. I never thought my weight would bother me so much until I started not being able to fit into my pants, then finally weighed myself and I was back to where I was in 07'. I told myself that I wouldn't let that happen again, I guess I was wrong. I lost it summer of 08' without really realizing it when I was working on Ft.Lewis doing life cycle. I was hauling our old computers, monitors (20 pound CRTs) and switching them out for new ones. None of the new computers where unpacked, so we had to do that too, we got about 80. Where I worked there were different shops in trailer type buildings and the whole area was gravel. So that meant no dolly, hand carry each one. It took about 2 months and it was a hot summer too. I try to speed walk where ever I go out here, even if it is a short distance. The only thing I drink is water and sometimes green tea. I don't eat any red meat right now... to many damn calories and takes longer to digest.
I'm trying to learn the programs I work with better, it's really hard though. I work with a Trainer who has been here for about a year. His job is to train the units on the programs, how to use them. My job as the system administrator is to set up the systems and make sure they keep working. However the units do not understand this. Since my trainer has been here for over a year and shadowed the previous SA he thinks he knows everything to include my job. Yes he knows a 80% more than I. However he argued with me the other day having to do with the update we need to push. The update only has to be put on machines that process medical records, not the few machines that run a supply program. He kept saying it needed to be put on the supply ones. No they don't the update has nothing to do with that program, I told him and he persisted to argue with me in front of a unit. Then the other day he started arguing with me about the fact I had changed a password on a machine in our office on a program we don't use very often. I told him that I did not but I did on my machine. He kept on... I just said fine, i'm sorry I don't remember. Not to mention it takes 10 seconds to reset the password. I have no idea what his f'ing problem is.
Bottom line I was right about something and he acts like I don't know what i'm talking about I think because I'm new. I'm trying dammit. He pretty much is trying to tell me how to do my job.
I suppose I'll just chant about it tonight.
