The sound of silence
November 9th, 2004 by Anders Kringstad

What’s really silence? It’s not to be found anywere I work or live I am sure. On a normal day I don’t think there’s ever totally quiet around me on weekdays. Maybe a stroll in the park or up a mountain hill will give me silence, but I doubt there’s silence there either. So what’s this urge for silence? Well. It’s too much noise in the world. The search for perfect silence is on. I don’t think I’ll ever find true silence, because that would mean sucking out the very air I breath, but something close to a ‘quiet place’ where there’s no car’s, no airplanes above or the sounds of computers humming, that’ll find. Someday. For now I’ll have to stick with something a little closer. A walk in the park, or around town.

Here at work it’s been hell. I’ve been serving customers alone all day, since none of the bosses fancy picking up the phone it just keeps ringing when it rings, and the other two drones are both gone for techie-classes, so I’m stuck here, solving stupid customer problems. Let’s just say that salespeople should never be leat near installing computer programs, atleast not when they’re not your salespeople and the customer are your customer. That’s a disaster waiting to happen. This one happened tho (Yes Jorunn, that slang is allowed!). I’ve been doing reinstalls of SuperOffice all day to clean up after this picky salesperson who think’s he’s an computer software expert who messed up both a server install and five client installs yesterday. Way to go. The good thing is that we’ll probably send the bill to him.

Right now I’ll be going over to Ivar (smygarn) and try once and for all to convince him that Windows sucks. He believes that just because he has this friend who codes stuff in .Net he has to follow suit if he want to use the things his friend code. I tell him other. Equipped with the Novell SuSE 9 Pro DVD’s and a chunk of time this little tale will get a Linux ending.

Also for those who are norwegian and don’t know. I’m looking for somewere else to work. Check out this page if you have any feedback I’m happy to receive an email from you.
