IT Frustrations

The frustrations of a IT person are endless especially when you come across the all to common not so simple fixes that just rattle your brain on why the system is acting the way it does. Especially in the corporate world I have ran across more wierd computer issues that I could have ever imagined. Some you know how to figure out with trial and error, then there are the ones that consume your whole day and the fix is rather quite simple just not that heard of or known for that much. When your normal computer fixing skills don't seem to work you begin to wonder and have internal conversations with yourself and other IT people if they are around and work with you to rack each others brains to see if you can find a solution to the seemingly non-solvable problem. Monday and Fridays seem to be the days for these type of issues nothing like a Monday morning computer issue that is brain and nerve racking that takes you all day to figure out and pretty much setting you back on the rest of the weeks work that you already had lined up. Or the Friday afternoon around 4 - 4:30 computer problems that make the last part of your workday go on forever and leave you with a headache and a head full of theories on the start of your weekend. Nothing beats thinking about work problems on a Friday night and all day Saturday, the best is when you figure out the problem and it was a simple yet uncommon fix that you would have never thought of. My personal favorite the computer just decides to work again with nothing special you have done to make it function regularly.
