I got an .zip file as an email attachment this morning that was supposedly very important. I don't really care for things like that, so I spent a few hours fucking off online. I got a little bored arguing with people who are wrong, so decided that I better check out what it was. Whelp, I saved it to my files, but I have to use outlook for some reason (even though I could replace it if I so wished, I am the sysadmin after all), so it took a while, so I went back to playing minesweeper. After lunch, I thought that I'd better open that file. I started to open is, then went to browse /prog/, reddit, Hacker News, Slashdot, and /g/ for a while. 3 O'clock rolls around and I think to myself that I'd better get on that damn file. Oh great, it's a fucking PDF. I was surprised the idiot could figure out the windows archiving thing. Well, anyway, this is windows, so naturally Acrobat has to load, so I go read a bunch of wiki pages until 4:55. Then it is 4:56, then 4:57, then 4:58, then 4:59, then I once again remember that thing that I was supposed to read (or do something with), but hey, fuck it, it's almost 5:00. Then I go home. Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow, but then again, maybe not. I'm not a psychic. I'll be busy monitoring log files and making sure the servers are down. If I'm not busy watching them, the network could go down, and trillions of dollars could be lost. I'm sure whatever it is can wait.
Such is the hectic day of a sysadmin.
