After the network upgrade we had last week, the used cisco routers were donated to whoever is interested. And so I got one. I’m planning to review my networking skills at home just to refresh my memory. I used to work as a network admin but since I shifted career to SEO, I already forgot the IOS (it’s the router operating system).

I kinda miss being network admin. It was a lot more technical and hardware intensive than my current job as a manager. I remembered when some of my officemates got upset because my boss asked me to block some porn sites. They almost filed for a strike just to make those sites available again! Hahaha.

During those times, I got sick of doing routine work of checking servers, cleaning log data, managing connections, etc. which made me decide to shift career. In those times I thought that I want a more exciting job. But now that I’m no longer a network admin, I miss my old job. Not that I want to go back, I just miss the technical stuff. If only I could time leap to my old work just for a day or two. Sometimes we just can’t be contented with what we have, can we?
