Tomorrow I (chad) will be working most of the Saturday on server issues. They are doing construction here on a new music building and need the power shut off. We are using that opportunity to bring down a rack of servers and do maintenance on them.
One of the pieces of maintenance is to blow the dust out of the machine. Dust is a large problem here for the longevity of electronic equipment. It seems odd to me because it rains here so much, but there is dust everywhere and it builds up quickly.
That is only one of the many things we'll be doing tomorrow. When I say "we" I mean me and the other "new guy" who started about 2 months ago. The experienced guys are off center this weekend, so it'll be a real trial by fire.
But, we're not freshman, we know what we're doing. It seemed a little funny to me that they turned over the keys so quickly to the new guy, but then again in a few weeks the two of us will be alone for quite a while as the experienced people head home for break.
So if you think about it, pray that things go well, as new guys, we strongly desire to serve people and do our best here so that everyone gains a level of trust in us. They have had the same support personnel for so long that we'll have our work cut out for us in building relationships.
God is great this is such a fun and adventurous job. I'll blog more on that later!
