Two things you need to know, to understand #MismatchedMonday
#1: I am a simple creature.

- Simple.
#2: I don’t wear white socks.*

Long sock season: Labor day to Memorial Day
With those established, it shouldn’t seem like too much of a leap to understand why I do a thing every Monday that I call #MisMatchedMonday.

I found out on Wednesday that the position I’m in at LW (Quality Control) is being dissolved, so I was given a few choices: Support Supervisor, Monitoring Tech, and Support Tech. After lots of debate and hemming and hawing, it looks like I’m gonna do some support for a while. I’m actually kind of excited, which will probably make many of you think I’m crazy. A month or so ago I came in on a Saturday night, and spent a good 6 hours just doing tickets. It was the most fun I’d had at my job in quite a while. I miss the daily challenge and the weird stuff. I still have a lot of technical knowledge, but it’s slipped quite a bit from where I was when I stopped doing Monitoring full time (you know, three years ago).
I’ll have another week to tie up my loose ends in this spot, and then it’s back to the phones and helpdesk. I’m sure I’ll tire of it shortly, but I welcome the challenges.
Ani suggested we set up a cage match for the department heads, and let them fight over who gets me. Think we could make some money on that one?
