Hello! Well, my family (and me) have an obsession with Pakistani Dramas (although we're indian) Just love the Urdu!

Do any of you watch Pakistani Dramas?

Hi.

Oh I see. Not bad, lots of physical work though. I need to get myself a jacket and I wonder if I can claim for trousers on expenses, due to kneeling down a LOT, though I guess all this manual work is pretty good exercise. After a while, you get used to the temperature changes (You lift a floor tile and it's really really cold) And then it can be really warm when you stand up. Thirsty work as well, not because it's strenuous but because of the noise, you talk a bit louder, and because of the cold, your mouth dries out

And your eyes dry out, so I've been wearing some (optional) specs goggles

One of the tile lifter is pretty scary. It's used to lift carpet. This thing:



Fortunately, they're slowly getting rid of the carpet tiles. They're annoying to pick up

Then we have something like this:



Which we use when there's little space. Normally we use something like this:



My manager however is like a machine, and because he's tall, it means he can kneel around tiles where I can't ie: one knee on one side of the tile, and one on another, and then we have to "knit"

And a couple of days we had FOUR 15 meter fibre cables fail. That's a lot, especially considering the length. Four 2m cables isn't bad, but 15 meters gets pricey. We use this thing to test:

Ours cost around 10K. And every single time we get it out, we put it back basically as new, purely because it costs so much lol

That being said, we saw a switch, that was marked as "old", and it was introduced in 1999. That still retails for around 27K

That being said, I really appreciate what happens in data centres around the world now, purely because of the amount of effort needed, with pre-implementation, planning, implementation (and getting lucky), just to move two switches to different racks for 48 hours

Also, I promised pics of the house before so here they are:

Though I need to try and get my friend to contribute to the house cleaning....

Like he's gone home atm, but someone's coming tomorrow (supposedly) to fix our boiler, and I've cleaned the house since we moved in, and now he's gone home....

I mean the house should be clean any way, but it's kinda "worse" when people come...

Isn't gajjar halwa basically gajrella? Jalebi and apple pie. Interesting



I do sometimes when I'm home I guess, but not that much.

Hi

Go bed, you clown.

Early bird catches the worm. Wake up ya lazy pakiz.

Hi

Your job sounds so cool! But I don't understand why you need to lift the tiles?

Oh and let me know if the have any vacancies...put in a good word for me lol

ok the place looks very clean! I wasn't expecting it to be that clean

lol love the ironing board and the kitchen windows got a nice view too lol would be even better if you got a gori neighbour living there lol

So you're doing all the chores now...joys of having roommates

Thought only we called it gajjerella lol yeah that's it

Had a lonnnnnnnng chat with sahdia13 just now, haven't laughed so much in ages lol!!

Is there any prospective maths student or maths students in this forum?

Its not bad. I like to be up and about rather than sitting at a desk doing low level work. I'm happy if its technical work but if its low level work is: auditing, then that can get boring. Also confusing considering the size of the spreadsheet

We lift tiles because we either lay down cables or we remove them. If you're any where near the core switches it gets incredibly fiddly to trace the cables in order to pull the right ones out

You have to be pretty good with your fingers removing cables I guess and putting cables in, last time we cheated a bit. We pushed the cables through some trunking "knitting" under the tiles and through to a rack

We knit under all the other cables or try to because in theory whatever goes in first comes out first (not always the case)

And we often remove cables that are dangling in the data centre because well it cleans things up and any grey cables I find I get to keep

And you have to be pretty careful with the fibre cables because they've got glass in them


Lol you'd still have to apply! And you'd kinda need the knowledge as well if you have that?

I didn't originally apply for this job. I originally applied to another department and they told me I were better suited for this



Really? Why not?



Well clothes don't iron themselves

And one person working at the company (a gori) is a next door neighbour (kinda) Directly next to us is an old man

And the view is pretty nice outside of the balcony ie: you can see the canals.

Its not a bad place, except that the lounge is my bedroom because the second bedroom is tiny. I'd be happy if they had an Asda here lol. Let's put it in to perspective how expensive Co Op is. I bought some Powerade from Co-op for £1.40

At the vending machines in the gym any drink costs £1.30

I'd get it from the vending machines but they didn't have Powerade (I like the design of the bottle)

It's only a 10p difference but my point is that vending machines tend to be overpriced and Co-Op was more expensive than a vending machine...



Yup and yup. Though at least I have someone to share rent with

Like I know a guy who has a one bedroom place and he pays £400/month, a girl who has a 2 bedroom unfurnished place who pays £490/month and then there's me and my friend who have this 2 bedroom unfurnished flat for £500/month

So in that sense we did well. Though if the company told us about that guy and that girl then maybe wed all be living in a four bedroom house or at least a three bedroom house at a cheaper cost. The guy is also Asian (Indian)

And maybe its a Mirpuri thing?
