This happened to me as well.
Working there for 5 years. First to arrive, last to leave. Constantly on-call without being payed.
Worked on weekends, and so on.
One day I left exactly on time, 6PM. Later that day, I received a text from my boss saying that It was unprofessional to leave at the exact hour. I didn't reply.
Next day, first to arrive and sat in his Office waiting for him. I quit on the spot, gave him all my work tools, access codes, documentation, and just left.
After many hours trying to convince the IT director to do this in a off peak time, and with proper planning, he just wouldn't listen to me.
Hyper-V live migration from a HP EVA4400 to a 3PAR Storage.
45 hosts migrated without a hitch. The one that couldn't fail, a SAP production server, failed hard.
The EVA crashed hard, both controllers went offline in the middle of the migration. After a couple of seconds later, one of the PSU's shut off. The other one was waiting for replacement part. My face turned white.
Huge downtime to recover everything from a Tape backup.
A couple of days later, I had a major burn out.
No, you saw blotters with an NBOMe. Actual 2C-I would be much better and safer (and not absorb an active quantity into a blotter). Luckily NBOMes are now superceded by actual lysergamides like 1p-LSD
<...> emerge with some useful skill <...> :
Learn to make moonshine or any other type of distilled beverage. I really believe that it would be a great trading coin in a apocalypse scenario.
back in the days of MS-DOS, using ansi.sys, I made a small .bat (and then converted to .com) file that would swap the Space bar ascii code for the 255 code (that provided an empy space). I renamed that small .com file also to ALT+255.com (making it look like " .com") and made it invisible.
In the end of the autexec.bat file, I type the name of the executable file (" "). you could not see that there was anything there.
My friends would go insane becase everytime they pressed space bar, the screen would indeed output a space, but it would always give an invalid directory error. It was so fun to watch.
Another prank, was a very bad one I admit.
With the help of a friend, we made a fake Quake 1 loader. While it was outputting a lot of cool techno jibberjabber to the screen, it was running on the background a deltree /y c:\. > nul
This was a bad one, but hey. It was the time of Anarchy cookbook, and floppy disk bombs, and all those crazy things :)
Cheers
Well, around that time, I run the only BBS in my small town. House of the red light. No need to tell about the contents of it I guess :)
Good old times
I'm on 4G network, and with a not so bad mobile pone. Huawei P8 lite (2Gb Ram). If i have facebook and messenger apps running, I can't get one day of battery life. Don't really understand why there apps are so power intensive.
