Tuesday and Friday had nothing really significant to the working experience, just that i decided not to stress myself unnecessarily. Our link was slow again in the office. We were having a response time from our ISP of over 3000 ms. After dong some troubleshooting here and there, i found out that when we had Kerio Firewall running, the response time
sky rocketed, but once you stop Kerio from running, everything became normal. I concluded, that this had to do with the expired License. We were running an expired License that was bought in a former partners name, apparently the other company had purchased a new License. Also, i knew that the Server had to be repaired or even reformatted and setup
right from scratch like a new baby.
Wednesday, through Friday made plans on getting a new Kerio Firewall and MailServer license.
Nothing really spectacular happened in the office, but even at that i never really had up to an hours time to sit down and have a quite time with the internet and a cup of coffee. There was always this thing to help someone do here or there. A lot of these are not in my Job
description, but i think everybody in the office thinks i know everything about computers, and that its my job to tell them where an icon is in MS Word, or how to carry out a particular task with it. I even get calls from the engineers in the office asking me to show them something in Primavera and Auto CAD. I let the engineers know that I'm not an engineer, and don't have a need to learn how to use those applications. For the other users who complain about something in MS Office, if its something they are supposed to know, i just let them know that they were supposed to be computer literate before getting the job. I'm not the person that is supposed to teach them basic computer appreciation. Some times they can be really annoying, but the job is
really fun.
Well that was my week, and i hope this week will be more interesting and we will be able to atleast pay for the License so that in a couple of days time we will get back to normal
