I didn’t choose the IT life, the IT life chose me!

You guys, Life is good! Not only have I finally gotten a job that allows me to sometimes work from home, but I can also watch Mattlock while I do it! #ITlife

So I’ve been an “IT professional“ for 4 months. The last 15 years prior, I was in some sort of Sales role. In my position, I’m the local IT support for a large distribution center. I just wanted to share I love my job!

This is def something I’m taking on the next beach trip!

My wife told me that she gets frustrated with my uncanny IT ability to fix most things by just getting near them. I hear the same thing from the users at work. I love being the IT guy that helps everyone!

It’s never to early to start planning, right? With this being my first year in IT, I’m thinking about who I might want to dress up as for Halloween since supposedly they do a fun office party. I’m looking for someone/something IT related. Give me your best idea!!

#TBThursday this gem is from my first day as an IT pro. I freaking had no idea what hat I was getting in to, but its been a hella awesome adventure and I’m learning everyday!

I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty amazing mentors. I always try to pass along the help!

Stole this from somewhere, but man I’m glad my wife loves when I talk techy to her!

It’s Monday and the first email of the day states, “ Can you come look at our printer, it’s going in and out.” Sure I can! I love dealing with acting up printers first thing on a Monday!

I had someone tell me today that I’m so much nicer then the last IT guy here. What did I do that was special? Let me know the user rant. She wasn’t mad at me, just mad at the situation. The fix was a quick reboot. I left her with a little education and a big smile.

Stolen from FB, but these kinds of tickets make the day exciting! #IT #itwarehouse #helpdesk #sysadmin instagram.com/p/CgzKc4Jrc8y/…

Happy Friday everyone! May today be your easiest day! And if you have problems, remember this bit of wisdom, “When times are tough, remember the wet duck, he doesn’t give a flipping F***” Good Luck!

They forgot the IT guy….I’ll let it slide though

Day 2 of trying to get someone from Lark Health to reply. Now when the AI is chatting with me I’m no longer Jacob, I’m undefined

Today makes Day 3 of trying to get Lark Health to help. I’ve also reached out to them via their webform on the website.

Working in a warehouse environment can be tough on tech!! Nothing a little tlc can’t fix! instagram.com/p/Chu3h3qpaI-/…

I’m not sure what it’s like for other IT folks, but the quickest way to get me to help you is to be courteous, ask nicely, and possibly provide treats. Cookies seem to always work for some reason.
