We're in the middle of the night - 3am to be exact. At least that's what the clock on my computer is saying. We can't confirm that, as we're several hundreds of meters away from a place where we could see the sky. Yes, I'm still in military service, in a top secret place. I'm not allowed to tell you where it is. Somewhere IN a mountain in the swiss alps. We're running the nightshift of the helpdesk, in case someone has a problem with computer, radio units, beamers etc. in this facility. But as it's in the middle of the night for everyone else, there's nothing to do. We're 4 people in this room - one is watching futurama, one is travelling around the world with google earth and the other two are just surfing around. It's a boring time, and there are still 5 hours to go - that's why I decided to write something. Should I start the study for my exams right now? - No boring to, proabably more boring than just collecting webmiles.
We just got a call. Maybe there's something to do soon? - No, my colleague just told the other guy to come here. He's outside the facility. It will take him at least half an hour to come here. We have to wait. And then big action. Give him another battery for a radio unit and the work is done. Nothing new, nothing big.
Now all others went for a smoke. I have the room for my own. What a responsability!! ;-) Maybe the phone will ring? No. Maybe a big boss comes in? No but instead my colleagues are back and we're going back to the usual silence, the usual pretending of working, in case someone accidentally stumbles into our room...
