Troubleshooting software for lab equipment. Nothing is ****** documented anywhere, its like working in the dark.

That and taking calls for people that want their computer 'moved' a foot to the left or a foot to the right. I want to punch those lazy bastards in the medula oblongata.

Phone support!!!!

The rest of my job is fine, heck I'd even go so far as to say that I like it, but when it comes to doing phone support...

My micro-managing boss and lazy co-workers.
Oh, the inconsistencies of my boss irritate me as well.

You sound like me.

We have lab equipment that is so old and outdatd that he still have to have NT 4.0 boxes with SP3 for the equipment to work. And there is no documentation on this stuff anywhere. And if this machine ever dies so does the piece of equipment plugged into it since no one has any of the software for it.

Repairing things that are totally preventable. Things that anybody with just an ounce of contentiousness would have avoided. Why? Because, then I turn into some whinny crying bitch complaining to every supervisor I can corner that this isn't the way the competition does it, so shame on us.
