Rant!

  pretty steamed..   Rant!, Work (0)

  I recently applied at a local phone company- the same one I tried to get a job with a year ago but was a bit late. well, every few days I hope on their site and look at the careers section waiting for new positions to pop up. finally it happened and you know damn [...]

  1 & 1 are sneaky mother fuckers   Rant! (0)

  I host sigmonic.com over at 1 & 1. why? I dunno, I was in a hurry to find hosting and it was cheap. I haven’t really touched it for over a year. they really don’t give you many rights as far as how you can manage your material then ontop of that you can’t even [...]

  watching a man fire himself, and I thought I had problems   Rant!, Work (0)

  a guy I work with has had a run of bad luck lately. two weeks ago a customer called in saying he scratched their antique tv stand. saying something like how it cost 5,000 bucks, blah blah blah. a week later I’m at a job with him and while he was climbing into the customers attic he breaks the shelf in their closet by steping on it. now in his defense it would have been very difficult to avoid [...]

  street run vs tredmill   Rant! (2)

  just got done with a 2 mile run this morning. this is usually what I do before I weight train at the gym- I bust out a quick 2 mile run and continue with my weights.
  anyway I had recently decided that since I can’t get to the gym as often as I’d like I could [...]

  monday madness   Rant!, Work (1)

  HAH! it’s been a while since I’ve posted and that’s not because I havn’t had a lot going on. oh no sir, I could write a fucking novel.  I’ve save you most the details- or maybe they’ll come in a future episode.
  I just got home and am pissed at an idiot co-worker. I’m running trouble calls today. well mid day this guy calls me and says “I got a trouble for you” he gives [...]

  The last time we left our hero…   Rant!, Work (0)

  he was bragging about how much money he had made the previous day and how much more he was going to make the following day and even days to come. irony is not without sense of humor.
  after waiting two hours in the cold for his check he was told he’d have to turn in 100% of his equipment before receiving it, this put a real smile on his face because not only had he already woken [...]

  I have a feeling, today is gonna be different! *sing song*   Rant!, Work (0)

  so here I was around the same time yesterday ranting about not making any money.. I goto work with an attitude of man this sucks, I can’t wait to go home. when DUN DUN DUN something amazing happens! I’m got put on a pretty huge project.
  It was purely luck like a lot of things have been at [...]

  black friday was lame   Rant! (0)

  this is a week late, I only thought about it now because it’s once again friday.
  I’ve decided to never hype myself up for another black friday again, this one was awful. there were very few good deals. and the ones that were good were barely good enough to fight through the mass of people for.
  I went to Best Buy and they actually had a fair stock of everything that was advertised in the paper. there were some pretty good games for say however they were all games just about everyone has played already.. had I of been living [...]

  bad weeks   Rant!, Work (0)

  well the last couple weeks have been really slow at work. REALLY slow. most days I’ve been getting off work at around 10 or before 12… heh, I can’t complain about that- I enjoy having the rest of the day to get some things done but I’d rather be making money. hell one day I [...]

  to catch a predator   Rant!, TV (0)

  I’ve never actually watched this show.. I’ve seen clips of it here and there but never sat down and watched it until now.
  this show is funny however a little fucked up. I almost feel sorry for these idiots. It’s not completly fair to call these guys ‘predators’. the real predators are the ass holes in chat rooms, etc saying they wanna suck an older mans dick and happen to get these lonely guys interested. [...]

  it’s been a minute- so the blacks say   Gaming, Rant!, Work (0)

  haven’t been posting much, mostly because Ecto stoped working with this blog and I don’t like using a web interface. I’ll have to figure out what the deal is with that later…
  I suppose a lot has happened since my last post(s). I spent a good portion of my morning fucking around with Quicken. the more [...]

  being nice doesn’t pay the bills   Rant!, Work (0)

  hah, yah thats what I learned yesterday. things are slow at work, it happens everywhere- you can’t force people to want additional services… not only that but our work force is rather large so when we do get work its split up between a freakin army.
  well yesterday I did one fucking job that took me [...]

  bad luck week   Rant!, Work (0)

  well I don’t got much time so I have to keep this short…
  I’m finally working on my own, finally. my first day out I had one job that took ten minutes and was paid well for however that was the only job I did all day so that day sucked cock. the following day I [...]

  still no work   Rant!, Work (0)

  well I’m still out of work, I’m -almost- nervous. this job if anything was big gamble. I knew this before I got into it so I only have myself to blame, if I had a chance to go back and do it again though I think I might have just stayed where I was. I’d [...]

  a sunday night with the xbox and halo 3   Gaming, Rant! (0)

  alright well the story goes as fore mentioned… my xbox kept locking up duringg random points in game play- on and offline. I had ‘thought’ it was a corrupt save game file because I had noticed the problem started happening after I did so solo gaming..
  well I deleted my save game where I was [...]

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.
