Diarrhea; Now it's for breakfast!
I love my job.
I've been extremely stressed at my workplace. I'm covering 2 roles now that the AV guy has been fired. I am trying to live up to my users' own expectations of me.
I am the beloved IT guy - and the beloved AV guy.
For the admins, I put on my gayest voice so I can get on their good side. I swear with them, gossip with them, and curse the business with them.
My nose hair is coated in poop from the amount of secretary-ass I kiss on a daily basis.
I have the best word out of any IT person in the office; not for my skill, but because users like me.
Because of my reputation, I have now been crammed back into the Video Conferencing Support position. The admins and secretaries have rejoiced and praised my manager for delivering me back to them.
I broke down in tears twice this week, and it's only Tuesday.
I love you.
They have some huge executive end-of-year-meeting-extravaganza in the giant theater that has no Teams capabilities, but they want Teams so I had to pull Teams out of my ass. On top of that there was an overlap of 2 other "business essential" meetings that needed someone there to press the big "start meeting" button on the tablet.
This shit is going on this whole week.
AV guys get fired for nothing. I've seen them get fired for the smallest of small hiccups. I saw my friend get fired because a windows update pushed itself on a smart-board during a meeting.
AV is forced to rely on old equipment, outdated rooms, and unresponsive management. Requests for new equipment get shut down because "You made it work last time".
Then they ask me "why don't you want to do the role?".
Why don't you want to work at the shooting range as a target?
Why don't you want to work at the poop factory as the flavor tester?
Suck my chode, that's why.
