A JOB IN THE CLOUD (Not Cloud based)

Microsoft Teams interview – explained

the useful

the needful and the useless.

Office training- 1 week-

Office job.

Reassuring affirmation as ‘’Si in 3 weeks you will be flying’’ or ….(I would never have imagined that I flew out of the exit door)!

‘’Rome was not built in 1 day’’

The TL answering in coming calls-

shadowing- regional accent.

British client for me—Defence!

Military Barracks.

Invited to play

Kahoot

Darts in the office- championships of Darts

Job: Active Directory users and computers.

Domain controller server.

VPN Global Connect.

Remote desktop connection.

Virtual desktop.

My accounts created

For the client – Defence and the company.

TL repeating obsessively: ‘’Do you know what I mean, do you know what I mean and do you what I mean’’?

To the client: ‘’Pull the password through, do you know what I mean’’?

No matter what they replied  was on the side, the question was always : ‘’do you know what I mean’’?

1 Lunch invitation in the Office from the manager and his dog.

‘’we do not like her’ ’they used to say, ‘’too delicate, too feminine, to slow’’

You need to be a real macho man to pull the password through the AD, no SSO set up.

You need to be a real macho man to install a printer.

Kahoot

Darts competitions in the Office.

One sunny day on the phone I told to the defence client connecting from home not using VPN,

the following: ‘’Let me ask the robot sir, we have a robot, big tummy, Guinness drinker, that was

programmed by software developers 4 years ago to say – do you know what I mean, fair enough.

Even in not related situations.

The manager’s dog protesting

running

smelling.

The woman, red haired, undecided if becoming HR or Finance department expert, not compatible.

Fully packed Office of laptop, piled up, HP, DELL and Lenovo, with Spanish surnames on them..

from time to time.

‘’Do you know what I mean ‘’?

On my side learning obviously more and ++++++ Connecting to the virtual desktop.

Punctual? Too much

Assertive? Too much

Willing to learn? Too much

No longer needed.

The dog kept running in the Office

protesting

smelling…..every single thing.

TL last day: ’I am a champion—4 years ago I used to take 70 calls with no workstations connected

to the network’’!

I said: ‘’what for’’?

He was emptying meanwhile his desk drawers- of all his office belongings.

He replied: ‘’I was Guiness great’’ I said: ‘’Gilipolla great’’!

The following days, mourning in the UK, Elizabeth the II had passed away to a better life,

more than the one she already had.

British military soldiers (and Irish) marching in the street, more British I should say.

Uniforms, soldiers, officers…. marching in the city centre.

Young, and old. Very old. Even the retired ones.

FAIR ENOUGH!

5 months later on a rainy day, I passed by to the company I used to ‘’work’ ’or try to work for.

No one single person was there.

All gone elsewhere.

Learnt AD, Azure, ( Microsoft Entra today).
