It's almost 11 p.m and time for our first graveyard shift.We had dinner and prepared our selves. I kept on thinking about the work on a graveyard shift. It was 10 p.m when we decide to go, my "shiftmates" and we took a taxi because we are too lazy to wait for the tricycle "4 wheels xa pero tricy tawag?".
When we arrived we were charged 89 pesos from St. Anthony Village to Bajada near Victoria Mall "ba un? o plaza?ay ewan di ko pa kabisado eh.". It was a "fair-fare", because Arrif paid... :) We got there 30 mins early, we got in and saw Ray and Emelie sitting in front of a computer doing something. We introduced our self and wait for our time to start the work. It was 10 mins before 11 o'clock one of the admins showed us the storage room, for us to know the locations of their stocks.
At exactly 11 p.m Ray and Emelie went home and the 3 of us left behind. The 2 admins also went home and only Sir Nards and the 3 of us was left for the graveyard at the System Admin Department. Sir Nards was friendly he told us that if we want to ask something about anything regarding the system admin and some operations inside, he will answer it the best way he can. He then asks us to create our OJT time sheet for their records. After that Sir Nards showed us the technical department and checked the computers "tiningnan namen kung me mga naka plug pa na computers, para next time din a sya sasama kami na lang". It was 12:10 a.m when sir Nards told us to have a break, and of course we did “kame pa?!”. We went to the nearest convenient store and bought some snacks. After that we went back, we saw sir Nards is having his coffee and “yosi” break. We talk about what they do inside and what is their work. It was a good talk, after that we got back inside and sit in front of the computer. Sir Nards told us that we can now take a nap, he even started it. Arrif and Butchi took a chair and position themselves in front of the computer to take a nap. I was not sleepy I look at the place from where I’m sitting and wonder how does that server “Hubports Brain” works. All of those Computers, Routers, Switches, Cables and etc, like in our Computer Networking (COMPNET) lecture are seen here. I keep on asking myself, How fast it is? What are the specs? What can it do? How does “it” do it? and more. I’m so eager to learn from this, I hope sir Nards have time to teach us about it.
But for now we will just slept and woke up 6:30 in the morning. We logged out and let sir Nards sign our DTR. And we went home and sleep again… J
