  halo 3 time   Gaming (0)

  I never really got into any of the other halos, mostly because I refused to buy an xbox. I might have been missing out. right now I’m totally loving halo 3, and starting to under stand why so many other people do too.
  it doesn’t really sport the graphics some of the other games do these [...]

  fate or something like it   Rant! (1)

  I’ll be the first one to admit, I hate the idea or fate in fact I’ll say I don’t believe in it but no matter what I say or do there are a lot of things that happen that I apparently have no control over that seem to happen for the better.
  maybe its luck or [...]

  almost lost a finger today   Rant!, Work (0)

  ok well I exaggerate. that might be the worst thing that could possibly happen to me after picking up Halo 3 yesterday. anyways I was in class this morning learning how to score/peal back cat5. I’ve cut cable for years so wasn’t really paying attention to what I was doing.
  Instead just watched what our instructor [...]

  mr business man   Rant! (0)

  looks like I’m off to my first computer job in a couple weeks. the last one I cut the people a break, I’d normally would have charged them more but they were very friendly and apparently were sort of in debt with medical bills..
  this one however will be pretty decent. charging 80 bucks to put [...]

  first week work impression   Rant!, Work (0)

  well after one week I’ve have learnt a lot at the new job. I’m comfortable saying that they could let me out on my own and I’ve have no problems. will they do that? probably not. I suppose monday wouldn’t be the best time anyway since I’m still waiting on a few tools.
  the only tool [...]

  fico looking good today   Rant! (0)

  I got an email about my credit score changing so I went to check it and dun dun dun… that shit had rocketed up nearly a 100 points. and this is actually a credit score checker that usually counts points maybe a 100 less than everyone else. so for instance if I had a 600 [...]

  my first days of work   Rant!, Work (0)

  well, so far I’ve learned both nothing and a lot. see the company I contract for now does cable and telephone. I’ve done service work for years on cable lines so thats no thing to me. I’m trying to learn the phone side of it which everyone tells me is “really easy”. if you seen [...]

  bridges burned while attempting an amicable leave   Rant!, Work (0)

  alright so yesterday I’m finishing some of my exit interview paper work when another technician walks in and says something like “to bad you can’t come back”. then another tech over hears this and is like “what the fuck did he give a two week for then?!”.
  “oh it has something to do with the [...]

  PS3 Warhawk is becoming a piece of shit   Gaming (0)

  I waited a while to post about this, a week even. I thought I’d be fair and let them try to work out some shit before I rant about it but now its become ridiculous.
  Warhawk is an ‘online’ only multiplayer game for PS3. It’s similar to Socom but has more of an arcade style. oh [...]

  first night out and the new job conversation   Rant! (0)

  today or tonight I should say was my first night out in quite a while.. maybe a year. it wasn’t all that great and basically what I had imagined and even more so why I don’t really go out anymore.
  just the usual. that is seeing friends and talking about random shit while having drinks- I [...]

  much ram required   Uncategorized (0)

  I’ve been noticing a trend lately, that is with applications seeming to require an ass load of ram.
  back in the day applications had to be created with memory in mind because there wasn’t much available, today this step seems to be completely ignored. so what if your application takes up half your system resources- you [...]

The Under Paid Technician

an eye into the life of FonePhux, a telecommunications technician.

about

I'm FonePhux, some might know me as the creator and editor of Amerikan Youth (sigmonic.com) and #FoneFoo on 2600net. There was a time when all phreaks wanted to do is learn more about the telecommunications industry. For some of us it was a hobby or a phase, for me it became an obsession and eventually my profession. Unfortuantly it wasn't as luxurious as it seemed... Your about to read the daily grind of a service technician.
