I had a long meeting with my IT staff. It took over an hour, as usual. I always want to keep it short, but just don't know how. :-(
After going through all pending items on the list, we haven't go much done since last meeting. While I was spenting my time doing the real engineering work, the IT was kinda on a slow track.
I have started to talk to my IT subordinate about his quality of work. It is what I have been avoiding for the past months. It was really hard to get straight to the point and say what was on my mind. I have always been thinking that he didn't work hard enough, but he didn't want to accept it (who would?)
I didn't finish my talk, as we got interrupted by the "unusual network problem" (shoot!)
The servers were down, the switches were down, mail server was down. These were shown on "the systems & network status" page. But usually when this happens, I would not be able to even get to the "status" page. This time it looked like everything was down, but I could go to Intranet pages AND Internet.
After half an hour of "we have no idea what went wrong" and calling every single parties that we thought might have something to do with our links and networks, everything came back up and running OK. It was like ghost... or may be some VIRUSES??
I felt pretty stupid having to face the problem, not knowing how to solve it, but then it was solved on its own. It will be like "let's wait until it gets tired of being down"... Oh, well, this is what you usually get when you have a mechanical engineer responsible for IT.
This problem today was very weird. And annoying - as we don't know the cause of it, and it was interrupting MY conversation. I will try to talk to the guy again tomorrow.
I will have 3 interviews tomorrow. 2 for ME position, 1 for IT. I really hope the IT position would work.
I want to get out of this hell so bad...
