Getting calls at 6AM is fun

So like, the server room at my workplace has this little temperature monitoring device, which calls and e-mails a particular group of people (read as : IT dept) when the user-defined temperature threashold is met or exceeded.

So this morning, the building decides to do a reset of all the A/C units. Unfortunately our little 3/4 tonne unit doesn’t reset by itself, it needs a little user intervention. So our server room began it’s rapid ascension (sp?) to it’s temperature threashold of 85 degrees.

Fast foward to 6AM

I’m passed out on my bed

My phone starts to ring

I wake up and pick it up. A computerized voice lets me know that the temp is going up, and it’s 86 degrees now.

4 minutes later it calls me again, it is now 87.

5 minutes, it’s 88.

So I wake up and change and hop on the 7:10 express into Grand Central.

And now everything is fine.

I’m tired. Very tired.

fin my sob story of why I’m tired. Thanks for looking.

that sucks. cool system to have though… as long as it isn’t calling YOUR number i suppose lol.

That’s why they pay you the big bucks Howie :wink:

What time do you normally get up?

It could have been worse though. It could have called you at 3am or right before you were going to bed last night.

I usually wake up at 7.

You’d be amazed at what that one hour can do.

:word:

id be pist lol… that shit sucks

take a nap at your desk :gotme:

HR lady is here

her office is right next to mine.

maybe I’ll print out some eyes and put them on my eyelids.

lol

Welcome to my old job… (which I don’t miss very much)

i have a set of those eyeglasses that have eyes on them… i wore them to an early work meeting here… everybody got a good laugh about it… i got em on ebay for 1 dollar shipped

i was at Grand Central yesterday, nice cars they got on display there and I wanna steal that MV Augusta they got on display too.

Shit you were here this weekend?

Fuck, my bad.

WHY DIDN’T YOU CALL ME?!?!

I was playing wow because I had nothing to do…

Anyway - yeah this morning sucked.

I’m getting my 2nd wind right now

So after reading this post as well as some others it reminded me that i never went to NYC and i would really like to before it starts to snow, can anyone tell me the cheapest way to go(college budget)? And how many days it would take to have a good time?Any info would be greatly appreciated!

u can fly via jet blue and stay in a shitty hotel…

dont drive there… parking and the gas make it more expensive than flying now

Yeah gas alone will be more expensive then flying.

Im heading out there in early dec. Think my round trip flight was $133, staying with a friend so thats nice. You can always look on travelocity, or one of those types of site for combos with hotel and flight
Im only going for 3 days, but it would take closer to 5 days to a full week to do all the normal sightseeing crap.

Expect everything to be expensive. There are cheap-er restaurants and crap, just gotta do some walking, look at menus and shit to see whats good. Wendys is nice since a dollar menu item isnt jacked up in NYC.

hotel thirty thirty… its in mid-town great rates, and ok rooms. i know when im in NYC, i dont spend much time in the room other than to f*ck and sleep, so its perfect for me and its under $100 a night.

as for how long you gotta be there to have fun-- less than 1 day IMO.

I thought you didn’t live in manhattan? I’ll def. be going back again though, might be going back for a halloween party end of october. It was my first time there and it was definetly a lot different being there in person than seeing it in movies/TV. Times Square at midnite is nuts, so many lights its like walking around in daylight.
As for others that wanna go, i took a greyhound for $28 roundtrip they were having special prices for buses going to nyc, i dont know if they have a deal from buffalo though.

6am was when i was getting out of work…:gotme:

Coffee is your friend.

So what is bad about a little temperature, set the room to 100° and pop a nice cold Corona and listen to some tunes
