IT Work on the Weekends

As most IT Professionals know, there is no rest for the wicked. One of the things I like and, at the same time hate, about being in IT is knowing that I alone am responsible for all of the issues, projects and preventative maintenance of the facilities under my care.

 This weekend we are doing a server rack move from a floor rack to a wall-mounted rack high above the floor. I guess Koreans (my employer) don't like to see much on the floor, but, in their defense, it does already look better. I was here until about 11:30 pm last night until we finally the move completed and the network back up. A 17 hour day yesterday and a projected 12 hour day today.

Today will be another long day of running cable drops to our control room to expand capability for future equipment. 

Having very little sleep and a pregnant wife home alone, I can't wait for this to be done and I can get home and relax for the remainder of the weekend.

Here's hoping that we all do what we love, even when we don't love it all the time.
