Another day, another night shift

[mousme]

I am watching Stargate: Continuum. So far, it's as I thought: it's like a two-hour episode that's pretending to be a movie. In fact, they already used this plot. The only difference is that there's a whole portion that happens in the Arctic, which I think was probably really cool for the cast. At least, they seem to think so in the commentary section.

Spent most of the day asleep after a really long night. We have a guy in from O Division (Ontario), who is unfamiliar with ALL our systems, so I spent a lot of time training him. He then spent the rest of the night talking at me about computers. He's a hardware specialist, spent 10 years or so working for HP, and explained a ton of stuff about the nuts and bolts of how computers work.

He's a lot older than I am, and apparently took great delight in playing Obi-Wan to my Luke Skywalker.

I would much rather have spent the night in quiet, doing my work and being left the hell alone, no matter how interesting it was. The first night of a night shift is brutal, and I don't think I have retained even 10% of what he told me.

So I'm going to be spending the whole week with him. I hope he settles down, because I don't think I can take six more nights of this.
