Well I know its meant to be 3 days but hey!

Started today. Team are a good bunch, there are 3 of us, network manager and other tech who both own me in knowledge wise. No longer the only guy everybody comes for advise/support which is kinda weird and liberating

Biggest network/user amount I have supported. I think there were about 1400 or so users on AD I saw and 800 machines/laptops (i think) + I think was about 60 printers.

Was a fairly quiet day today which I was surprised about, sure it will pick up soon, as I don't want to twiddle by thumbs in new job! Ona get stuck in. As Ive worked in schools albeit smaller It wasn't a big shock to the system + I am aware some days are quieter than others so - no jobs to do or don't know what you should be doing - learn productive things :P .

Anyway so far so good.

 

Indeed.

It sounds good though, im sure you'll learn massive amounts every week in that environment.

 

Good to hear and learn as much as you can each day using your time wisely and productively

 

Good luck on the new job.

 

Thanks all. Won the lottery and never have to work again! Whoop.

Not really. Been a bit busier today.

Cheers

Trying to learn VBS/Batch Files and PHP in time between calls.

 

Hope it goes well for you m8. Heard today on that school job I applied for - looks like I won't be joining you in the education sector

 

Sorry to here that. Keep on applying though. www.edugeek.net has job postings quite a bit so take a look there now and again.

Cheers

 

Come on over to Switzerland then. Lots of jobs going here.

 

Mmm so day 3. Was busier. Manager was out all day. Had various calls regarding toner changes, creating MSI, investigating old issues, carrying out pc's/monitors about, trying to fix toners by cannibalizing other parts due to snapped off parts - reminder to self force for OEM !! Had a few usual calls about errors printing and kids not being able to do various things.

Learnt a bit about smoothwall (filtering), more about batch files and pushing out software upgrades/deletions as well as more about our virtual reality room.

So yeh its all going good so far. Still tho I hope for it to get busier and learn more. Good shelf life I hope with this job
