Back to work another day
good grief... do we have to?..
I'd rather have a root canal than go to work..
So far, I am feeling that a root canal would be slightly more pleasant.
Came in to find last night's tape backup failed. Ran one round of diagnostics on the drive and it says "The drive is no longer recommended for use". Time for more troubleshooting, as I've seen this resolved by reseating the SCSI card and disconnecting / reattaching the cable.
Before anyone asks - yes, I have other types of backups that were successful, so all is not lost. No such thing as too many backups!

having a conversation with another tech in a different department.
Looks like he's feeling the same way as I am with being fed up with company and tired of the Bullshit.
He said he's been ignored for 3 days now, where he asks a question on a software he is new to using.
The guys that's been here for 4 years doesnt seem to care about his career or growth so he's doing just fine, He said " it is how it is.. Nothing's really going to change it.."
Well I say forget that, We're getting a new GM coming august.
Let's see what happens around then, i suppose. -

Upgrading to Windows 10 1903
Spent the morning upgrading 10+ machines - only one minor hickup and that was really more an impatience thing than any real issue.

They need to be imaged /sigh
