Fluff freshly recharged, paws rested, whiskers twitching with post-vacation energy… and bam! right back into the glorious chaos of IT life. 🐆❄️
Today marked my official return to the field after a fantastic, cozy, and snack-filled vacation. I was ready to conquer dashboards, chase down gremlins, and maybe even enjoy a nice coffee at the office. The universe, however, decided to start me off with a reminder of reality: three hours of traffic back and fork. Yes. Three. Whole. Hours. My tail was flicking in frustration by the first hour mark — even my favorite playlists couldn’t soothe the snep growl.
Once I finally reached the client site, things kicked into classic post-holiday mode: ringing phones, “Hey Quilo, since you’re back…” requests, and of course, a mysterious PC that decided not to boot because it missed me too much. After some patient pawwork, a sprinkle of troubleshooting magic, and a few deep purrs of focus, I got everything running again.
But just when I thought the day couldn’t get more dramatic… one of our clients’ datacenters decided to literally start the year with a bang. Their fire suppression system went off — not because of flames, but due to a sensor hiccup. The result? A loud “whoosh,” startled techs, and a poor server that lost their drives in the blast of the inert gas release. 😹 Thankfully, no real fire — just crispy nerves and a few replacement orders to make.
The rest of the day was a blur of follow-up calls, small fixes, and catching up on what happened while I was away. Still, nothing else exploded, which in the snep world counts as a solid win!
Now, with my paws back on solid ground (and my coffee cup firmly in paw), I can safely say: it feels good to be back. Even if the road is long, the work chaotic, and the calls endless — it’s the rhythm of the snep’s tech life.
Stay fluffy,
Quilo 🐆❄️
