This is one of the things I miss so much about HP, my banyo moments :D

But seriously I miss HP and I miss my work there, earlier I volunteered to do the “on call” duty on Saturday night which will mean that I’ll be working for 16 hours because I’ll be coming from EMEA shift so I will have to work two shifts straight, then people seem to find it odd that I’m willing to work 16 hours straight, then I told them it’s ok because I am used to it, I do it with HP and sometimes it’s more than 16 hours, one guy said that it’s not acceptable because I might make mistakes because I won’t be able to function well because I’ll be too tired and too sleepy but as far as I remember I did well working 16 hours straight doing 30 to 40 changes, patching heaps of servers, changing kernel parameters, doing maintenance reboot, software installations and so on and after all changes you have to do all necessary sanity checks then do your post change report, it was indeed tiring but after you have done all the work and did it well, everything is worth it.

So I just shut up when the guy said it’s not acceptable because I don’t want to sound too confident, anyway it’s a good thing they don’t tolerate it here but I miss the feeling of doing so much work and at the end of the day you will feel good because you know that you’ve done a good job and you just have to treat yourself for a two bottle of ice cold red horse beer :)

I can’t say I’m workaholic but I enjoy the challenge of what I do, I sometimes do procrastinate ;)
