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.

It was a really bad day at work :(

And please, get some trusty test kits. I've seen lsd blotters with 2C-I

Awesome explanation. Thank you for sharing

<...> 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.

I listen to a lot of black metal, so by popular belief, I guess I'm evil.

I think I'm missing something in your post... Malware infected motherboards? How is this possible?

Chromebook will not run any windows software. It runs google's chrome OS and Chrome web browser. it's a total Web-based operating environment and all applications are web based (although some apps may run offline).

My first contact with a A500 was in a friends house. I was amazed by the graphics and the sound. At that time, I had a ZX Spectrum 48k, and had to save money for about 2 years to buy it. never had the money to buy a Amiga. Last month, got myself a A500 and I'm discovering a whole computer world that I've missed.

For me it has to be: Ultima 7: The Black Gate Ultima Underworld 1 Master of Magic Pizza Tycoon

"<...> peoples lives, incriminating information, pictures that you wished you had not seen, state secrets and so on <...>" if anyone puts any of this on USB sticks and carry them around daily, I must say they are not very smart.

Nagios core.

I can relate to what you are feeling. You have to take a couple steps behind, take a deep breath, and start to see things how they really are. There's no evil that will last. You will get over this, I can assure you. make a list of your strengths, of what you are passionate about. Maybe change job, work on something else that might make you happy. Maybe relocate and start over. A good friend of mine, sysadmin for a couple of decades, burn out one day. Left everything and bought a small house on the country and he's producing wine. He's never been happier he said to me. Do some sports, go out, be with friends, talk about what you are feeling. It helps. Take care mate.

Thank you. Testing.

You are right. I was consuming large amounts of caffeine. Usually 4 to 5 espressos per day, 0.5L of filter coffee, plus large amounts of beer on Friday and Saturday nights. At that time, I was in a gym, 3 to 4 times per week. I was told, by the doctor, that it would help me to clear my mind from work. Regarding medication, I was consuming some vitamins.

Yes, that's right. Lack of sleep, poor eating. All mixed up with a lot of overnight work during a chaotic migration project. The day before that happened I had a sign that I should have taken seriously. I arrived at home, opened the front door, and felt on the floor. I had no strength at all in my legs. I started to cry without any apparent reason. Could not control myself and that never happened to me before.

For me, i had a bunch of signals that I was ignoring for a couple of months. - Could not sleep well at all. Woke up many times in the middle of the night, my mind was always thinking about work. I lay in bed, heart pounding really fast. - Loss of appetite. My breakfast would be a cup of coffee and 1 or 2 cigarettes. Could not eat at all in the morning. - Starting to feel pain on my chest, near the heart, during the day. Hands shaking, confusing speech.

One day, I was at my desk, speaking on the phone with a work colleague. On my side, there was another colleague also speaking to me. I started to see everything blur. I tried to speak but I couldn't. Started to feel a huge pain in the chest. I remember putting my hand against my heart and then passed out. - When I recovered my senses (a couple of seconds later), I couldn't feel my legs, I was shaking, and couldn't speak. It was terrifying. I really though I was having some sort of heart attack. In the end, was a really bad burnout, stress, altogether. I'm still doing my job (sysadmin), but I don't know how long will I be able to stand this.

So, take care!

Happened to me a couple months ago. Fainted on my desk, had to go to the hospital by ambulance. Almost 8 weeks at home. Don't wait for it to happen.
