Misadventures of an IT worker in a technologically-impaired country

Hehe 

The BC speech went quite fine, but I didn't talk a lot about BC, I talked about biological evolution theories instead.
Cool.

I better don't talk 

Today I have drove 200km to plug a ADSL router. It was the fifth time that me or my mates made the same task in the same client just because somebody at the carrier doesn't know how to properly setup the router.
Finally seems like everything went fine, but I wonder why do I have a degree in computer science and I'm working as a cargo driver.
Now I'm at the airport waiting for a delayed flight 'cause tomorrow I have to give my speech about Business Continuity.
Fuck again! Who the hell am I?

Bad, again 

It's been a long time since my last post, mainly due to the fact that I am very disappointed with my job, and I'm trying that to not affect the rest of my life.
I am working most than ever, and I am earning the least.
Our government says that Spain is the eighth world economy, but I am earning less than a waiter in London or Paris. We have an increasing rate of unemployment (about 9% of active population) so my expectations of getting a better job aren't very good.
In my job, I am doing things that I don't like very much and that I wasn't expected to do when I started working here: 24x7 duties, driving at night to remote sites and now I'll have to spend one week out of three in Madrid.
The internal mechanisms of the company are bad managed, so there are people overloaded while others are "hand over hand".
I am in a very bad mood.
