This COVID thing has been a bitch for me. Two months without work then working part time for the last six weeks. Got the call from a recruiter just 20 minutes ago. They will be paying me slightly less than I would be normally making at my job, but if you take out my OT I used to get it's a tiny raise.

Been trying to get into the Data Center environment the last few months, but kept getting shot down since I lack previous experience. Finally someone took a shot on me.

I am super excited. It will take 2-3 weeks for onboarding and background checks, but beginning next month I get to start a new career! Never been so excited to start a job before. My only complaint is it will be night shift.

Congratulations!

If you've never worked night shift before, you might be surprised... Some folks absolutely love it. (Not me, though.)

Congrats! The data center at night, with all those fans humming away. You'll need lots of caffeine. I used to do night shift maintenance windows long ago. I liked it.

Basic maintenance, monitoring equipment, preventive maintenance, lamp/ballast changes, and overseeing contractors coming into the building. Also includes writing MOPs and reports/data entry.

In short making sure everything works and act as the first responder if it doesn't. These places require 99.999% uptime.

Awesome, that's great news!

Who cares if it's night shift? Embrace it, go in and do a mighty fine job for them.

Awesome news man! I knew something would pan out for you eventually. Way to hang in there and keep driving until you got it. I feel like we kinda got into this shit together around the same time and we both had problems with UI so I’ve been rooting for you to get a new gig too.

Really happy for you skins.

I was confident you would be hired somewhere. How long is the commute? Hope the benefits package is good. That stuff becomes more important the older you get. Again congratulations.
